Zucchini Pasta: Delicious Vegan and Gluten-Free Zucchini Noodles

Zucchini Pasta is a healthy replacement for pasta. This is a great recipe, super easy, quick and delicious. I like to serve this with homemade tomato sauce or you can serve with your own favorite sauce. Zucchini Pasta is also vegan and gluten free.

    Hi Manjula,
    I wanted to tell you a trick I have discovered that works well in tomato sauces.
    In Italy we use a trio of vegetables to flavor broths and to enhance the flavor of tomato sauces, the soffritto (or mirepoix in French), which is made with equal parts of onion (sometimes with a little garlic), celery and carrots diced small and sauteed in olive oil (sometimes oil and butter). Yesterday I discovered that you can replace the onion with diced fennel bulb (the white part). It comes out well, and actually I don’t like the taste of fennel bulb alone very much. The result is a very aromatic, versatile and digestible tomato sauce. I will try replacing onion with fennel bulb for vegetable broth too and then if it works in risotto.
    Regards, Didina
