Zucchini/Carrot "Pasta" with homemade Tomato sauce

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!
