Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta, cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until al dente, and drain. Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place onion in the skillet, and cook and stir until tender. Mix in zucchini, tomato, and garlic, and season with oregano, basil, celery, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until zucchini is tender.
