If you live at a place where Zucchinis aren’t throat-cuttingly expensive, here’s a recipe that will help speed up your metabolism and also give you that almost pasta/noodle-like effect without all the gluten and grain in there. It’s Paleo-friendly, low-calorie, and very healthy; an all around wonderful quick-recipe for busy people with busy lives.
Zucchini Noodles with Cherry Tomatoes
Serves 1Prep & cooking time: 15 minutes
2 medium zucchinis, grated into thin strips (with skin on)
2 tbsp of chopped fresh garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp of dried mixed herbs
1-2 tablespoon of tomato paste
salt and black pepper to taste
sprinkle of sunflower seeds or pine nuts
Instructions
Heat a large pan until hot, then add your olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add your chopped garlic and fry till golden brown. Then add your zucchini strings, herbs, salt, and continue frying at high heat. Put in your tomato paste, and mix thoroughly. After about 30 seconds, add your cherry tomatoes and continue stir-frying. Remove from heat after 3 minutes and serve with a pine of sunflower seeds or pine nuts.
Tip: Use a regular cheese grater instead of a Japanese grater for thicker, spaghetti-like noodles.
Voila!
