Spaghetti Zucchini with Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 medium size zucchini
- 4 garlic cloves
- Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) as needed
- 1 jar of Papa Vince Cherry Tomato Sauce
- fresh basil to taste
How to make Zucchini Spaghetti
- Make the zucchini into spaghetti using the Papa Vince Peeler.
- Pour some Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a frying pan and allow it to warm at a medium heat.
- Use the Papa Vince Grater to make the garlic into a paste and add it to the frying pan.
- When the garlic starts changing color, add the Papa Vince Tomato Sauce to the frying pan and cook for 5 minutes keeping the heat on medium.
- Add the zucchini to the frying pan and cook for about 3 more minutes until the zucchini has your desired texture. We personally like it "AL DENTE" - crunchy yet tender at the same time.
- Serve and enjoy!

Cilantro Lime Chicken
A citrus marinade that is juicy and full of flavor and the longer you marinade your chicken the better it will be. I like to prepare mine the day before and let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then all I have to do is set it on the grill. I'm sure you could also bake it in the oven or saute on the stove top, whichever is your preferred way of cooking chicken.
