Ingredients
- For this recipe you’ll need a zucchini noodle maker called a spiralizer. They are inexpensive and available online, at Target and Sur la Table.
- Approximately 4 servings
- 3-4 Organic Zucchini
- Salt
- 1 clove Organic Garlic
- 2 Organic Shallots
- 2 teaspoons Avocado Oil or similar oil
- 1 1/4 ounces can of diced Organic Tomatoes
- 1-2 Organic Roasted Red Pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Optional
Instructions
- Take each zucchini and use your spiralizer to make noodles.
- Put the noddles into a bowl and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes. The salt draws liquid out of the zucchini, helping the noodles hold together.
- While waiting for the noodles, make your sauce!
- Finely chop two organic shallots and one clove of organic garlic. Put the garlic and shallots in a large saucepan over medium heat to which you have added with two teaspoons of organic avocado oil, tea seed oil, or other organic heat-resistant oil with a healthy fatty acid balance (almond oil or coconut oil also work).
- Once shallot have become transparent, about 2 or 3 minutes, add one can of organic diced tomatoes and one or two chopped roasted organic red peppers, depending on their size.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- (Optional) You can add organic crushed red pepper flakes if you like your sauce to have more “kick”.
- Allow everything to heat through, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the liquid from your zucchini noodles and then wrap in a kitchen towel and squeeze out the extra liquid.
- Add the noodles to the warmed sauce pan for a brief minute or two and serve immediately!
