Zucchini Pasta

ZUCCHINI PASTA

This is a fantastic, low-cal way to enjoy Zucchini and Yellow Squash. You can even keep this RAW if you are so inclined.

What you will need:

• Zucchini and/or Yellow Squash
• Spiral Slicer, Mandolin or Vegetable Peeler
• Boiling Water
• Sea Salt
• Your Favorite Sauce

Using either a Mandolin or a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into linguini or pasta like strips turning the zucchini as you go. Stop when you get to the seeds, they are not used. Place zucchini into boiling water (nice with some salt) for 1-2 minutes. Drain and enjoy with your favorite sauce.

Option 1: You can add in a carrot or two sliced up the same way.
Since carrots take a bit longer, cook the carrot for one minute before adding the zucchini for another minute.

Option 2: For a veggie pasta medley, cut up Broccoli florets into small pieces and cook along with the carrot for one minute before adding Zucchini.

Option3: Cook any or all of the above and mix it together with cooked regular or Gluten Free pasta (Schar brand is one of my favorites). This is another way to cut calories, get your veggies and still enjoy a comfort food favorite!
