Roasted Garlic Zoodles Recipe

 

Making zucchini noodles or “zoodles” is an easy and satisfying way to get more veggies into your favorite pasta dish. Not only are they naturally gluten-free, vegan, and keto-friendly, the delicate flavor of these beautiful and tender green ribbons pairs nicely with a variety of sauces. Recipes ranging from a basic marinara to creamy alfredo will taste wonderful, but we love zoodles lavishly dressed with Roasted Garlic Yumm! Sauce®, juicy tomatoes, and fresh basil.

All you need to make these at home is a veggie spiralizer (which can be found for as little as $8), a julienne peeler, a mandolin, or very careful knife skills. Once the curly zoodles have been cut using your device of choice, they can be gently steamed, quickly blanched, or baked, but we prefer a light sauté in olive oil.

Simply toss with Yumm! Sauce for an instant side dish or you can add crumbled tempeh, chicken sausage, or lemon marinated fish for a protein boost. After the first bite, you’ll want to spiralize this super simple crowd-pleaser for family meals all the time!

3. Toss in the zoodles and saute for 1 minute.

6. Stir in 2 tbsp of Roasted Garlic Yumm! Sauce until the zoodles are well-coated.
7. Add tomatoes, basil, and cheese.
8. Toss until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the zoodles.
