I always make up double or triple spaghetti sauce recipes when I make it so I will have lots to put in my freezer. It’s just so handy to have on hand all the time for quick lunches and dinners. A quick pizza, quick spaghetti, or dish like the one above. After defrosting the sauce in my microwave, this dish was on the table in under 30 minutes! It was so good. And it’s acceptable for Induction, too.


INGREDIENTS:

5 oz. zucchini, cut into very thin strips, like noodles
2 T. olive oil
½ spaghetti sauce (I use: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2009/0...paghetti-sauce/ )
2 oz. mozzarella cheese
1 oz. Parmesan cheese


DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. In a non-stick skillet, lightly saute the zucchini “noodles” in olive oil over med-high heat just until they are just done, but not mush. Turn off heat and pile up the “noodles” in the center of the pan. Top with the spaghetti sauce. Then the mozzarella. Finish off with the Parmesan. Pop into a 350º oven for about 10-15 minutes.

That sounds delicious - I'll try it with some ground beef in it also! Thanks for the recipe.

Yes, there's ground beef in that sauce recipe linked to in this recipe. And it IS good with the meat! Hope ya like this. One of the tastiest "quick" dishes I've done in a long time.

Looks terrific! I love your website- you have great recipes!

Why thank you, Pegandpal! I try to be very selective about only posting my very best recipes. Glad you enjoy he site!

I just learned something which totally surprised and awed me. I apparently have a fan club in North Carolina (my birth state) unbeknownst to me before. It's a low-carb support group at Duke University, run by Dr. Eric Westerman (contributing author of A New Atkins for a New You). He's also the group's leader. His assistant, who has lost 130# low-carbing to date, told me the entire group just loves my recipes and anxiously await the new ones I add each week and add to their newsletter (acknowledging me of course). She posted a comment on one of my recipes today telling me my recipe site was a major factor in her 130# loss. I tell you, my heart swelled and I choked up reading her post. To think such a simple thing as sharing recipes touches lives in such dramatic ways.

Honestly, a cook just never know if ANYONE is going to like a recipe as much as you like it yourself. Taste is so highly individual. Learning this today just made my day!

That and the fact that I lost 4# this week after a 17 month stall! I'm hoping that's a trend and not just another bounce before another stall. I MUST think positive!
