Hi Housewives!

Today’s recipe is delicious, easy and super-healthy!  I am Italian and I love pasta.  However, carbs can wreak havoc on your diet so this is an excellent compromise.  I have not given up pasta completely but have cut back, especially during the weekdays.  I will allow myself to indulge on pasta preferably once a week and usually that day is Sunday.  Zucchini pasta will take just like regular pasta and you can serve it with any of your favorite sauces.

• 2 zucchini’s
• extra-virgin olive oil (1-2 Tablespoons)
• garlic (chopped or crushed)
• grated cheese
• compari tomatoes or cherry tomatoes (1 pint)
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

To make may zucchini spaghetti-like I use a Vegetti.  You can purchase it at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  It’s inexpensive and works pretty well.  There are other products out there that do the same thing but this is what I use.  Once you have Vegetti’d your zucchini heat up the olive oil, add your garlic.  Then, add your tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.  Lastly, add your zucchini and cook for 5 minutes more.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  When plated I add my grated cheese.  I prefer pecorino/romano but you can use what you like.  Enjoy!
