Don't think of Zucchini "Spaghetti" as a replacement for pasta, think of it as a delicious zucchini dish! |
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I made this julienned zucchini "spaghetti" over and over after I tried it last summer.)
Have you ever used a Julienne Cutter or a Mandoline Slicerto cut zucchini into thin "spaghetti-like" strands and then served it like pasta? I have both those handy cooking tools and I certainly have an abundance of zucchini every summer, but I just tried doing that for the first time this week. I ate my zucchini "spaghetti" with a very tasty quick sauce made from spicy hot Italian sausage, tomatoes, and lots of chopped basil, parsley, and oregano, and completely enjoyed it for a quick dinner.
