Zucchini pasta recipe
Mar. 2nd, 2019 07:37 pmThis is super easy and delicious. Slight edits to this recipe according to what I had available. Can also use chopped tomatoes (add at the end if you do).
1 box of mixed zucchini/carrot/squash noodles like you can get from the store (~1 lb).
~2 cups angel hair pasta (cooked). This is about 3/4in circle of dry noodles
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3 or 4 big cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp dried italian herbs (I get the "lightly dried" ones from the store)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp water
parmesan cheese to taste
Cook angel hair according to directions, drain and set aside. Heat oil, garlic, lemon juice and pepper flakes in a deep dish skillet on medium. When garlic begins to simmer/pop add the zucchini noodles and herbs and cook them about 5-7 minutes until they get wilty but not mushy. Remove the noodles to a bowl and set aside. To the juices left in the pan stir in 1 tbsp water and tomato paste and mix until well mixed. (Add the tomatoes here too if you have them). Then when everything is combined stir together the angel hair pasta and the veggie noodles back into the pan to combine with the sauce. Sprinkle everything with parmesan cheese and serve.
