3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (spiralized (I use the ribbons blade on my spiralizer))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Fresh minced parsley and/or fresh basil cut into ribbons
Extra drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Add the drained beans, garlic, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pitcher of a blender (high-speed blender is best). Puree, blending for about a minute until completely smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. You may also want to add more garlic if your garlic is mild and/or you reallllly love garlic.
  • Make and cook the zucchini pasta: Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into ribbons. Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. When hot, add the zucchini. Saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and reduced in size a bit, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sauce! Pour the sauce over the top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Top with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve.

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces each)
12 ounces Fettuccine pasta, preferably whole wheat
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup cold 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk (not condensed milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Slice the ends off the zucchini and discard. Using a mandolin or carefully with a sharp knife slice the zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Stack the slices and cut with a knife lengthwise into 1/4 inch-thick ribbons.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Add 1 clove of the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini ribbons, cover and cook until the zucchini is tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer the zucchini to a bowl.
  • Cook the pasta al dente according to the directions on the package. Ladle out a half cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta and return it to the pasta pot.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Stir the flour into the low-fat milk until it is completely dissolved. Put the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the remaining clove of garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour-milk mixture and cook until the mixture begins to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add the evaporated milk, salt and the cheese and cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt to taste.
  • Add the sauce, the zucchini and 3 tablespoons of the parsley to the pasta in the pot and toss to combine. Add a little of the reserved pasta water as necessary to loosen.
  • To serve, place 2 cups of the pasta mixture on each plate and garnish with remaining parsley.

FETTUCCINE WITH WHITE SAUCE



Fettuccine With White Sauce image

I got this recipe from a friend. In addition to being a wonderful sauce for pasta, this white sauce is a great basic recipe to use with seasonal vegetables such as zucchini. This sauce is also perfect for adding shrimp or scallops. Spring onions are used in this recipe as they tend to be milder in taste than other onions. Although this recipe calls for fresh garlic, minced garlic may also be used. One teaspoon of minced garlic equals 2 cloves. Since this is a white sauce, it does NOT need cheese. The pasta should be added to the sauce, not the sauce to the pasta. Please note that some ingredients used in my recipe are approximations and more spices may be needed depending on individual taste. Enjoy!

WHITE BEAN ZUCCHINI PASTA



White Bean Zucchini Pasta image

A super delicious summer pasta that is healthy and keeps you full. It's also very simple to make, but impressive on a plate. The lemon adds a nice zest to the zucchini and white beans. Really good and fresh tasting. If you're into spicy foods, I've also made this with some cayenne pepper added.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 zucchini, chopped length-wise and sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 (12 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, fresh and grated
1 tablespoon fresh basil
6 ounces multi-grain penne (I use Barilla Plus penne pasta)
black pepper
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Start your water for the pasta. Add the olive oil to a saucepan (or wok) and preheat to medium-low heat.
  • Place the zucchini and garlic in the preheated pan. Constantly stir the zucchini and garlic so nothing sticks or burns.
  • When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the box instructions.
  • Once the zucchini has become soft and semi-translucent, lower the heat to simmer and add the white beans and fresh basil. Note: You only want to heat up the white beans. If you leave them on the burner too long they will absorb all the oil and make the mixture dry.
  • When the pasta is done, drain and put it on a plate. Mix the zucchini / white bean mixture with the pasta. Add the lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
  • Serve with parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
