Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Easy Peasy Bolognese Sauce Mix
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 1⁄2 cup water or broth
  • 1⁄2 cup plain non-dairy creamer or half and half cream (10%)
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 6 small zucchini
  • 1⁄3 cup grated parmesan or pecorino

Preparation

  1. In a large Multipurpose Pot, combine mix, tomatoes, water, and creamer.
  2. Cover; simmer on medium heat for 15 min, stirring occasionally. It will thicken near the end of the cook time; stir more frequently at that time to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Meanwhile, using a vegetable spiralizer, form zucchini into thin noodles. You should have about 6 cups. Place in a Round or Multipurpose Steamer. Cover; microwave on high at 2 min intervals until tender-crisp, about 4 min, stirring gently after each interval to ensure even cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. To serve, divide zoodles between six bowls. Spoon sauce on top, then add cheese.

Tips

No spiralizer? Use the Y Peeler to make thin ribbons or the 4-in-1 Mandoline fitted with the julienne plate. Or look for pre-spiralized zucchini in the fresh produce section of most grocery stores.
