Earlier this month we covered all the ways you can use your spiralizer.
One of the recipes we’ve been spiralizing a lot is this Zucchini Linguine.
It’s easy to make: 4 minutes in the microwave.
It’s low in calories: Two cups of zucchini (a big portion) are 37 calories. A half cup of marinara sauce is 65 calories. Two tablespoons of grated parmesan are 44 calories.
Make or buy the zucchini noodles.
You can use any red sauce.
Or, use a heart-healthy EVOO-based sauce mixed with:
Basil and capers
Cacio e pepe (grated cheese and black pepper)
Cherry or sundried tomatoes
Pimento and olives (roasted red pepper)
Sautéed mushrooms
Sautéed seafood (salmon, scallops, shrimp)

Ingredients For 2 Servings
