We have so much abundance from our garden and our neighbors gardens that I was looking for more recipes to use up all of the zucchini and tomatoes. I found this fresh pasta sauce, it is so fast, and requires no cooking. Which is nice to not be over a hot stove in this heat wave we have had. Instead of putting it over pasta I made it into a wrap. I added fresh spinach, shredded zuchinni (I tossed the zuchinni in a little bit of lemon and salt and pepper, with olive oil and sauted them for just a minute), and topped it all off with a little bit of feta. Scotty loved it and Isaiah finished his without any complaints so I think it was a winner. Super fast, super easy, and no cooking involved if you don’t cook the zuchinni. What I was going to make was fresh pasta sauce with zuchinni noodles, but I thought the boys wouldn’t go for it so I just made it into a wrap. But now that I got a juliene peeler to make zuchinni noodles I am going to try it with this sauce.
I first had zuchinni noodles at The Pizza Factory, they are so yummy topped with sauce. So I tried making my own grating the zuchinni on a box grater, but they just weren’t the same. The solution to making great zuchinni noodles a juliene peeler. It is a tool that makes skinny little noodles kind of like angel hair pasta. I haven’t had time to make zuchinni noodles with the julienne peeler for dinner yet, but I will let you know how it goes over.
If you are looking for more recipes to use up your zuchinni in your garden try out these fabulous fries made from zuchinni they are a real winner….Or chocolate zuchini cake, I will post that recipe next.
