This is the pasta dish you can eat without worring to count calories!!! awesome, hun?
Guess what? I replaced actual "pasta" by zucchini, topped it with homemade tomato sauce and sharannn, a beautiful dish- scale friendly ;-)
This recipe is as versatile as cooking a normal pasta, tomato sauce can be replaced by pesto, bechamel, simple drizzle of olive/sesame oil...play with it!!!
Served as side or main dish, again...play with it!
Here's how I did:
Pasta
1 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini and/or 1 carrot (optional)- makes this dish colourful
2 garlic gloves (unpeeled)
1 tsp olive oil
Tomato sauce
250 gr fresh cherry tomato
1 small carrot (diced small cubes)
1 small onion
2 garlic gloves
Salt, Pepper
Vegetable stock (powder)
Fresh and/ or dry herbs: basil, oregano
Cut vegetables lengthwise (use a vegetable peeler or a mandolin).
In a non stick shallow pan heat oil, add garlic and vegetables (sauté for a couple of minutes, until tender).
Tomato sauce:
Sauté onion, garlic until soft. Add carrot, chopped tomato, vegetable stock, dry herbs (if used) salt and pepper.
Simmer in medium/low heat for about 30 minutes. Correct seasoning if needed, add fresh herbs.
Serve this "pasta" with sauce and grated Parmesan cheese (optional)!
Bom apetite!
