by Esther Milne January 02, 2019

Spaghetti zucchini, also known among food lovers as 'zoodles' and even 'courgetti (courgette Spaghetti), can be prepared as an alternative to pasta and is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. This recipe uses Papa Vince cherry tomato sauce as a topping but you can add any of your favorite sauces as you experiment with zoodles!

Spaghetti Zucchini with Papa Vince 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

Preparation:

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!

This is a versatile creamy white sauce that is used in a variety of different Italian dishes or can be used as a base for other sauces. One of our Sicilian chefs, Gienni showed us how to make it because she used it in the Eggplant Doublets dish she prepared for us. Gienni added Parmesan Cheese, you can use other flavors or make it plain, it all depends how you're planning to use it.

This is a typical dish from Messina which incorporates so many of the fresh ingredients of Sicilian cuisine. Recipes in Sicily vary so much by cities and regions and Vitina told me that despite visiting her family in Sicily so many times, this was the first time she ever experienced this dish. Her family is from the Eastern side and the food is different! This is a very popular recipe and is a creative way to make an eggplant spaghetti sandwich covered in rich tomato sauce, cheese and fresh basil.

by Esther Milne April 18, 2019

We met Samuele in Messina, Sicily, a beautiful city where fishermen pull up every day with an abundance of freshly caught fish. You can eat it in a variety of different ways and Samuele decided to make 'Pesce alla ghiotta' for us, which combines swordfish with some of the fresh local ingredients. You can always use tuna or salmon steaks if it's difficult to find the fresh Swordfish, it's a recipe that fits perfectly into the Mediterranean Diet.
