You've probably heard of zucchini noodles before. Maybe you've tried them, or maybe you've been on the fence and wondering if they could possibly taste good. Maybe you're a busy mom with picky eaters and think your kids will never eat veggies disguised as pasta. Trust me, I know how you feel. As a mom of 4 kids I know how hard it can be to find the balance between fun food and healthy food. This recipe is a family favorite and even my pickiest eater loves it! It's also a cheap and easy way to feed a large group and ORGANIC meal. This recipe costs only about $12 to feed a family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Good luck trying to find take-out at that price!
Ingredients:
5-6 large organic zucchini
4 links organic sausage
1 jar organic pasta sauce of your choice, or homemade sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
Preparation:
Chop the ends off of your zucchini and use a spiralizer or cheese grater to make your "noodles."
While you're making your noodles, you can cook the sausage. I like to cut them in half lengthwise and grill them on a George Foreman grill.
Once you've noodled all of your zucchini, you can prepare to cook everything. This part is quick! The most time consuming part of the recipe is making the noodles with the spiralizer.
In large frying pan, melt your coconut oil and add the garlic to the pan.
Add your zucchini noodles to the pan and toss occasionally with tongs. Cook for about 10 minutes total.
In a separate small saucepan, heat your sauce on medium heat, stirring frequently.
Once your sauce is heated through, you can drain your noodles in a colander and take your sausages off of the grill. Then, just toss your noodles in sauce (or keep them separate if you have picky kids) and top with the sausage. ENJOY!
