Faux Fettucini with Tomato Sauce
Yes, I finally got around to making the most popular wheat free substitute, zucchini instead of pasta. In this case, I used it as a substitute for fettucini noodles since I don't have one of the tools that makes it more like spaghetti, but I do have a mandolin that cuts just the right size for fettucini. If you don't have either, just slice the peeled zucchini and then cut into strips. I have plenty of zucchini so I left the inside seedy part mostly out.
1 large zucchini or two small ones, peeled and cut into fettucini sized strips1/5 pound bulk italian sausage, or one sausage with the casing removed.
2 T onion
1/4 C sugar free marinara sauce. Kirkland brand makes an organic one with no added sugar and no ingredients that I don't recognize.
Cook the sausage and onion together in a frying pan until both are browned. Pour on marinara sauce and continue heating while you prepare the zucchini. Microwave the zucchini fettucini on a microwave safe plate until soft. Top with the sauce and serve. Optional, add a sprinkle of parmesan.
This recipe can be increased to feed the whole family.
