Plant Strong Pasta * Vegan and Gluten Free

Hello Loves!

Who doesn't Love Pasta? I know I do, there was a time in my life that I wanted to marry an Italian man so that I could eat all the Italian food in the world  (true Story). But since it's not that waistline friendly I gave up on that dream. This alternative to Pasta is delicious and Filling. Seriously I was stuffed

You will need:
1 Zucchini
1/2 Cup Mixed Vegetables
1/2 Tomato
1 tsp Basil Paste
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
4-6 Grilled Asparagus Spears
1/3 Cup Cooked Sweet Potato


I already had previously grilled my asparagus and baked my sweet potato. you can cook these prior to making this dish. Feel free to cook either how you like, whether it's grilled, baked or boiled. I then made the "noodles" using my Spirelli. Purchase yours at Amazon here

In a bowl add the zucchini, chopped tomatoes, and all the rest of your ingredients. Toss with basil, oil, salt and pepper. Viola! a Super easy and delicious alternative to a high carb meal.

Enjoy!

  2. I love veggie pasta! I found that when I make pasta out of zucchini I don't like it raw, I have to steam to give it that cooked pasta feeling.

    Also...I know zucchini is very mild in taste, but I can just not handle everything about it raw lol. Sweet potato pasta sounds delish :)

    1. Yay! At first I didn't like Zuchinni raw, but I guess I got used to it. I find that a little bit of vingegar breaks down that raw taste. but steaming it is just as delicious. :-)
