Organic Carb Free Zucchini Spaghetti!

Saturday, June 22, 2013


So I have had spaghetti squash, which is fantastic, but I wanted to try zucchini spaghetti! It was awesome!! I loved the texture the zucchini have the pasta! You could probably use yellow squash for this too!! The whole thing took me less than 10 minutes!!


I mean look at that color!! Anything you eat with lots of color is FAN FREAKING TASTIC for you!! Everything in this is home made pure fresh and organic!! 

You will need:
-1 large zucchini (2 for two people, etc. 1 zucc made approx 1 cup)
-Julianne zester
-1 large tomato or about 15 cherry tomatoes
-fresh oregano
-2 tbs light oilve oil
-seasoning to taste

Julianne zest the cucumber like so- a Julianne zester has several small ridges which makes the pasta shape! 

Once you zest, make sure you don't start zesting into the seeds, which will just fall apart and become soupy. Now you don't want soupy pasta! You should have a thin zucchini left.


Now, don't throw that away!! We use every part of our fruits and veggies in the Creger household! Oh yes!! Now dice that bad boy up and throw it in the blender! This is going to give your sauce that extra thickness! Throw the tomatoes in along with about 4 tbs of water, your oregano, and any other spices you want! I like my things sppiicccyyyy because I'm southern and dangit everything needs to be spicy!! Lol LIKE SO


Blend that bad boy up.....


Do a taste test......Yum yum yum.. And add any additional seasonings you may need. I added more tomatoes here because I wanted mine just a SMIDGE more creamy!

Next, lightly sautee the strips of zucchini in a pan with 2 tbs oilve oil for a few minutes until warm!

Throw in a bowl, add your sauce and BAM!! Instant CARB free spaghetti ladies and gents, oh yes! This one is a belly buster! Not only a great source in vitamins A & C, but high in calcium and a great source for omega fats and even some protein!! AND....

..........................

Wait for it ................


A whopping 164 calories in that bowl of pasta!! SCORE! Good calories too! Feed your body healthy clean food!
