My husband and I are always looking for alternatives for lower carb choices when it comes to eating pasta. I was amazed at how good the zucchini noodles tasted. I bought a small spiral slicer by Joyce Chen first and that did cut the zucchini, but it was more like angel hair. I wanted more substance, so then I got a spiral slicer from World cuisine which comes with 3 different blades. When I attached the larger blade it did what I was looking for. So tonight we are having spiral vegetables covered with a spaghetti meat sauce.
2 zucchini spiraled
2 squash spiraled
1 carrot spiraled or julienned
1 onion
1 red pepper sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves minced
salt and pepper
crushed red pepper
1 T basil
2 T olive oil
Heat wok up until water sprinkled in pan spatters. Add olive oil and wait till it glistens. Turn heat down to medium low and add crushed red pepper, salt and pepper, and garlic and saute for one minute. Add red pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add zucchini, squash, carrot, and onion.Continue to saute until veggies just start to wilt. Remove from pan and plate. At this point you can eat it alone and top it with some parmesan or feta cheese.
Other options are to:
- make a spaghetti sauce to go over the noodles
- add a broiled tomatos covered with cheese and basil over the noodles
- .Add meatballs.
