This grain-free “pasta” dish delivers a heap of vegetables, vitamins and flavors, to get through your carb cravings in a healthier way.

Ingredients

• 2 large organic zucchini (Purchase organic because this veggie is on the dirty dozen list & often GMO)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons pesto sauce (check ingredients)
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 chopped tomato
• 1 clove garlic, mashed

Instructions

Most Americans love a big heaping plate of pasta. In some eating plans traditional pasta is out, but this mock veggie pasta is a great tasting alternative. It even looks like pasta!

The trick is to use a spiral slicer. It makes the zucchini come out looking just like spaghetti noodles. 

If you don’t have a spiral slicer, you can just slice the zucchini very thin and cut into strips for more of a linguini look.

When warm, add the zucchini and heat through (do not overcook or the zucchini will break down).
