Spaghetti w/ Zucchini & Tomatoes

jlohern

I made this for dinner tonight and it's very low calorie and very tasty! This recipe is vegetarian but you can also add sliced chicken or beef.

Zucchini Spaghetti (serves 2)
4 oz Ronzoni Whole Wheat Spaghetti
4 cups Sliced Zucchini (approximately 16 oz)
6 Roma Tomatoes
1/2 cup + 1 Tablespoon Light Italian Dressing

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of dressing over the spaghetti and toss to prevent it from sticking.

In the meantime, place the zucchini and 1/2 cup of dressing in a large skillet with a lid. Steam over medium heat until the zucchini are not quite soft. Add the tomatoes and garlic. Steam an additional 5 minutes.

Pour the zucchini mixture over the spaghetti.

There is hardly anything better than Spaghetti made with chunky vegetables.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't even think to throw a zucchini in my spaghetti sauce, I did it with some onions and mushrooms and it was soooo good. Thanks for helping me figure out what to do with my leftover veggies.
