You Are Going To Love This Veggie Pasta

Wait!

This is NOT veggies, spiraled, claiming to be pasta. There IS pasta in this dish. And..there are veggies that are spiraled and sliced, too.

The thing is… I.love.pasta. I love all the things you can add to pasta. Protein and sauce and cheese, oh my! It takes me right back to my Midwestern roots. Meat, starch and cheese LOL.

Anyhow, this pasta dish has pasta, zucchini that has been zoodled, and onions that have been sliced. This way, you get more flavor, a little bit of color, and an all around healthier dish.

Veggie Pasta

2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 red onion, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 zucchinis, zoodled or cut into long, thin strips
a quarter-sized diameter of gluten-free spaghetti

Boil the noodles per package directions.

In a separate skillet, add the oil and the onions. On medium heat, cook bout 5 minutes. Remove the onion and set aside. Add the zucchini into the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly softened. One the zucchini is done salt and pepper it and add the onions and pasta. It’s done!

You can top this with a cheese sauce, spaghetti sauce, garlic, and so much more! Yum!

Sauteed, and Sliced Zucchini, Onion, and Mushroom

Are there any foods you like the smell of, but not the taste? This was me, and mushrooms. My Mom loved them, and sauteed them often, but as much as I liked the smell, I never wanted to eat them. Then came this dish.

This side dish was made for me by a friend, and I’ve loved mushrooms (and onions) ever since. These vegetables are a great combo, and all you have to do is sprinkle on some salt and pepper. So good.

Sauteed, and Sliced Zucchini, Onion, and Mushroom

2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 cups sliced, fresh zucchini
2 cups sliced, fresh onion
2 cups sliced, fresh mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a large, shallow skillet pan (or wok) add the coconut oil to the pan on medium heat. Add your zucchini slices to the pan, and cook for four minutes or until they have begun to brown. Add the onion slices, and cook for one minute. Last, add the mushrooms, and cook an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper and it’s ready!
