Zucchini "Pasta" with Alfredo Sauce

For all you amateurs out there, like me, here's a simple tutorial on how to make a Zucchini Alfredo "pasta" that your kids (read kids AND HUSBAND) will actually eat.

We cut out eating pasta regularly a long time ago (you can read about that here & here) & we aren't over it yet.  I mean we are over the belly bloat and feeling tired/sick after eating it, but we aren't over the simplicity of the meal.  Then along came this beautiful idea...
 

Start with 1-2 Zucchini & 1 jar of sauce (any will do).

Peel it if you want to.  I mostly peel it, but leave some to skink to hang on to.

Compost the peels, trash them, or run them down the garbage disposal.  Doesn't make a difference to me.

I use the Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus Mandoline slicer- but you can cut the zucchini with a knife any way you choose.  Sometimes we do cubes, just because.  I like strips the best.

Let it cook down a little while you snap pictures and check your Instagram

Stir

Pour on the sauce

Stir some more and cook until the sauce is warmed

 

Serve to your child/children and try not to freak when they like it- then they would know it's kinda sorta healthy!
