In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until tender but firm; drain well. Meanwhile, sprinkle veal with 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of the salt and half of the pepper. In large skillet, heat half of the oil over high heat; brown veal in batches. Transfer to plate. Reduce heat to medium; add remaining oil to skillet. Cook onion, zucchini, red pepper and hot pepper flakes, stirring, for about 8 minutes or until zucchini is starting to brown. Add tomatoes; cook for about 3 minutes or just until tomatoes are softened. Add veal and any accumulated juices; simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with remaining salt and pepper; toss with drained pasta.
