About the Recipe
Zoodles are always a great option when going for a healthy dinner and staying away from any meat products. Kids love them, and surely you will too!
Ingredients
4 oz. favorite dried spaghetti
2 medium zucchini, spiralized
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, or chopped Roma tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil or Italian parsley
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Preparation
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and add to a large serving bowl with the zucchini noodles. The heat from the cooked pasta will begin to cook the zoodles.
In the same pot over low heat, saute sliced garlic with the pepper flakes in olive oil. Cook 5 minutes or until garlic is tender and golden brown, taking care not to burn the garlic or it will become bitter.
Add the beans, tomatoes, and both kinds of noodles back into the pot and toss to coat with garlic olive oil. Heat until zucchini noodles have softened and beans are heated. Stir in basil or parsley. Season with sea salt if needed. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
