Zucchini Spaghetti Noodles
instructions
- Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchini into noodles.* (If disease is active, peel the zucchini).
- Cut the noodles into spaghetti length strands.
- Heat a large skillet on medium and add the olive oil.
- Add the spiralized zucchini to the pan, tossing in the oil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for about 3 minutes - until noodles are slightly soft but still have bite and texture.
Alfredo Sauce
instructions
- Add water and cashew butter to a saucepan.
- Blend with an immersion blender until cashew butter and water are evenly combined (or blend in a regular blender and then transfer to a saucepan).
- Stir in garlic powder and salt.
- Heat on medium heat and stir constantly.
- When liquid starts to get warm, add butter.
- Gradually add parmesan and stir until melted into the mixture.
- Do not overheat as mixture will thicken too fast. If mixture overthickens (you want it runny, not pasty), add a little water until it is back at the right consistency.
