Zucchini as "pasta"

Tuesday we picked up our CSA box and here is what was in it:

Kale, potatoes, patty pan squash, eggs, cabbage, beets, onions, two heads of lettuce, and 3 zucchinis.

Even though I have a ton of produce, I went to a farm market with my mom today to walk around. She bought some great basil and parsley and gave me some.

So tonight I used my fresh herbs and one of my zucchini to make a "pasta", and zucchini as pasta is mmm mmm good.

I have ate some form of zucchini as pasta 3 times in the last week but finally took pictures to share with you tonight. I start my taking a vegetable peeler and keep peeling down the raw zucchini in long strips.

I start my putting some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Today I added some fresh garlic and some green onion from my CSA. After the garlic and onion have sauteed a minute or two I add the zucchini. I then add some salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash Italian Blend. After a few more minutes I added grape tomatoes, which I cut in half.

I topped the zucchini with a pesto, which is a mixture of basil, parsley, nonfat plain yogurt, salt and pine nuts, all which I placed in my food processor.

If you love the idea of spaghetti squash as a replacement for pasta, give this a try!!
