Zucchini Pasta

Are you looking for a convenient way to make some gluten-free pasta without all the processed gluten-free flour?

How about making zucchini ‘pasta’?  Though I never heard of it until more recently, I’m in love!

You can either purchase a spiralizer or just a simple veggie peeler you probably use for potatoes and cucumbers.

Since I don’t have a spiralizer, I use a peeler.

Prep Time 5 Minutes

Cook Time 3 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 medium large zucchini, spiral sliced (or sliced into ribbons with vegetable peeler)
• 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

1. First, peel off the skin of the zucchini. Then working around it, peel the white flesh until you get all the way down to the seeds and stop. With each peel, you’ve created one strip of pasta.
2. Then heat some EVOO in a skillet and toss the ‘pasta’ gently for 2 to 3 minutes so that it cooks a bit. And voilá!
3. Top with pesto (we made arugula pesto for this occasion) or a red sauce. Enjoy immediately!

Recipe Notes

if the zucchini has hard seeds, it becomes difficult to spiralize. However you can still you a peeler as described herein.
