Ingredients
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil .5 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar .25 glass (3.5 fl oz) Red Wine 2 clove Garlic .10 cup Leeks 1 stalk, large (11"-12" long) Celery, raw 6 serving Cherry Tomatoes, Fresh, 1 Tomato 2 cup Arugla, 1 cup (by DEANNIE1966) 74 gram(s) bell pepper, red, sweet, raw 75 gram(s) Bell Pepper - Orange (by PARAMAGNUS) 5 serving NASOYA - Lite firm tofu (1/5 pkg) (by MOOGIEBEE) 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated 4 cup, sliced Zucchini 1 tbsp Fresh Oregano (by SUNSHINE_AB) 1 tsp Thyme, fresh 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (by FRANKKI1) 1 tsp, crumbled Bay Leaf 8 oz Contadina (Tomato Sauce) (by FOXMOON)
Directions
I use a cast iron skillet. sizzle the garlic in extra virgin (only) olive oil. dice and toss in all the veggies and the red wine and balsamic. Add the cubed lite (only) tofu that has been previously weighted (to leach water) and cubed. sprinkle fresh herbs. cover and steam a bit.

spiralize the zucchini while sauce is cooking. peel the zucchini if you like. place spiralized zucchini in colander or on paper towels so it will leach water.

do NOT steam or boil zucchini it will wilt into babyfood...

when sauce is done plate zucchini - microwave for 15 seconds only then top with hot spaghetti sauce.

Serving Size: this is lite tofu and not very filling and zucchini has little calories or bulk to it. so there is only 3 servings for this recipe. what you do not have in calories you will make up in volume.
