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!

You can use any nuts in this recipe but Chef Federico likes to use walnuts for their nutritional profile. Walnuts have a higher level of both anti-oxidants and omega 3 fatty acids than any other nut and can help to lower the risk of certain diseases as well as support heart and brain health and healthy aging.
