Last night I made a quick dinner of zucchini pasta with a Thai sauce. The spiralizing of the zucchini into noodles looks time consuming but isn't. Two zucchini makes enough for two people. I prefer these noodles to flour pasta. Zucchini noodles work with any kind of pasta sauce or dressing. You can try a white sauce, a red sauce, a pesto sauce, or this Thai inspired sauce.
Pasta:
2 peeled zucchini spiralized into noodles ( I use a spiralizer made by Benriner)
Thai Sauce:
1/4 c. coconut milk
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. almond butter (you can use peanut butter for a true Thai flavor, but peanut butter isn't raw)
1 clove garlic
1 dried hot pepper ( I used a red hot chilli pepper)
1 inch ginger
juice of one lime
Himalayan sea salt to taste
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender. Pour over noodles and toss well. Garnish with red pepper flakes and parsley. Basil would make a great garnish as well.
Definately going to try this...might use curry instead of the ginger though. Looks delicious!
