zucchini spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 3 medium size zucchini squashes
  • 2 thick carrots
  • 1 teaspoon of tomato paste or 2 table spoons of tomato sauce
  • 6 garlic cloves (4 of them sliced, 2 of them minced)
  • 5-7 oz. plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and red pepper

Directions

  1. Put the sliced garlic and olive oil in a pan and put the pan on the kitchen stove set to low heat.
  2. While garlic is cooking, peel the carrots and make carrot noodles by using your Julienne (aka Julian) cutter.
  3. When the color of garlic starts turning into yellow (not brown please) add the tomato paste and let them cook 1 minute, then add the carrot noodles and mix them well and increase the heat to medium.
  4. While carrot noodles are cooking, make zucchini noodles using your Julienne cutter. You don’t need to peel the zucchini.
  5. Once you finish making your zucchini noodles, add them to the pan. You will need to cook about 5 more minutes, during that time mix them occasionally. In order to prevent zucchini to become very soft, you need to keep the cooking time short after adding zucchini noodles.
  6. While cooking is in progress, on the other side mix your minced garlic with plain Greek yogurt. You can add some salt and water to have a creamy sauce like consistency.
  7. Place your cooked healthy spaghetti to your plate and add the garlic and yogurt sauce according to your taste. You can also add some red pepper if you like it hot.
