Introduction

Saw something on the Biggest Loser about substituting shredded zucchini for half the pasta in a dish. Tried it and I gotta say I love it. Saw something on the Biggest Loser about substituting shredded zucchini for half the pasta in a dish. Tried it and I gotta say I love it.
Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    1 zucchini 10oz/300g
    1 oz spaghetti noodles cooked per package directions
    1 tsp garlic minced
    1/2-1 tbsp Olive Oil (use more or less as you prefer)
    1/4-1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
    splash of lemon juice
    salt/pepper to taste

Directions

This dish serves 2 easily or one really filling bowl if you don't feel like sharing.

Boil pasta as per package directions. I used a veggie peeler to just make long ribbons out of the zucchini but I imagine you can cut it any way you fancy.

Saute the garlic in oil in a large skillet, add zucchini and toss to coat with a bit of the oil, do NOT overcook, add spaghetti noodles and toss with the crushed red pepper, lemon juice and season to taste with salt or pepper if needed.

    It sounds quite good. I'm thinking you could even put a sauce on it for something different . - 9/29/09
