A hearty vegan meal to die for! Even my husband had seconds and thirds…
When you’re running around and don’t have a lot of time to prepare anything fancy, this is a great healthy option that literally takes 25 minutes. The simplicity of this meal does not represent how explosive the taste is! I recommend heading to the store NOW and getting the ingredients to prepare this refined pasta alternative for dinner tonight 🙂
Ingredients for Pasta:
5 Zucchini’s
Ingredients for Sauce:
2 Cups Garbanzo beans
6 tomatoes
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup spinach
3 Garlic cloves (minced)
1 yellow onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast (optional)
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive oil (or water if you like to cook without oils)
Directions:
Heat oil (or water) in a medium sauce pan, medium heat. Add chopped garlic and onions, sautee for 1 minute. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except for the spinach and yeast), and sautee off until everything looks soft and cooked. Add spinach and nutritional yeast at the end.
Grab any kind of veggie noodle maker (I used a simple $ 15.00 hand held tool found at Bed Bath and Beyond- doesn’t matter what kind you use). Make your noodles! If you like it raw, then your meal is ready to eat, if you’d like to cook the zucchini noodles…place in a pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 2 minutes with a pinch of salt.
Throw it all together and you’ve got yourself a tasty SIMPLE, vegan meal that will leave you incredibly satisfied. Enjoy!
