Eating this last night made me feel guilty and really stuffed. I kept mentally slapping myself to hammer in that this is NOT pasta. It's fresh zucchini noodles I made using a $10.00 "Zoodle maker" or "spiralizer" with mixed veggies and oil free marinara sauce. This morning it all left me 💩.
Recipe:
Take 3 medium sized yellow zucchini squash and make zoodles. Set aside In a bowl of water.
In a non stick skillet on medium high heat with 1/2 of cup of water, carmelize a large sweet onion, 4 finely chopped cloves of garlic, 3 large chopped mushrooms, the red stalks of some Swiss chard for color with a little salt. Stir until all the water is about gone and the carmel color is all over the pan. Deglaze the pan with the juice of 1/2 a lemon mixed with 1/4 cup of water. Stir some more to get the color on the veggies.
Drain the zoodles and add them to the pan. Cook them down until they look like limp spaghetti and most of the water is gone.
Add 2 cups of oil free marinara sauce. I used "Prego Light Smart". It has no oil and is available at Wal-Mart and Kroger. Keep stirring and cooking again until most of the water is gone. Add a TBSP of nutritional yeast. Give it a final stir. Serve hot.
You're welcome!!
