Ingredients
  • 3 large zucchini
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large basil leaves, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil (I found a sundried tomato flavored, but original is ok)
  • 3 cups chopped spinach
  • ½ cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • Sweet balsamic vinegar, just a drizzle
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • Tools needed: Zucchini noodle maker
Instructions
  1. Wash and peel two zucchinis. You don’t have to peel them, but it feels more like pasta to me when the peelings are removed.
  2. Using the zucchini pasta maker, shred the zucchini into pasta.
  3. Sauté the pasta in a skillet with a little oil and sprinkle it with salt.
  4. While the pasta is cooking, cut up the vegetables, including the sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives. I cut the peppers and onions into slithers, slightly chop the spinach. Set aside until pasta is cooked.
  5. The pasta should be cooked in about 10 minutes or when it is tender and easily cut with a fork. If you cook it too long, it will become too soft.
  6. Remove the pasta and put aside.
  7. In the same skillet, sauté the peppers, onions, and garlic until the onions start to look translucent. Add the spinach, olives and sundried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Add the basil leaves just before removing from the pan. This should only take a couple of minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Separate the pasta onto four small plates.
  9. Spread the vegetables evenly over the plates.
  10. Drizzle a little sweet balsamic vinegar over the top of each plate and sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese.
