Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Zucchini Noodles Recipe 465

Steps:

• You can use jarred bell peppers or make your own for this recipe, the instructions for roasting your own peppers are in the post. Add the 2 roasted bell peppers to the blender with the rest of the sauce ingredients, and blend until smooth. For the zucchini noodles, heat a large 15-inch deep sided skillet over medium high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic - sauté for a minute or two until the onion is softened but not browned. Add the sea salt and zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté using a pair of non-stick tongs to toss the noodles. Just as the zucchini noodles begin to soften, but before they start shedding water, add the sauce and cook just until the sauce is heated. Adjust the salt to your taste, and serve immediately with the freshly chopped parsley, grated parmesan, extra goat cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook and stir until browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce and diced tomatoes; let simmer until thick, about 10 minutes.
• Squeeze zucchini noodles to get most of the water out. Add to the skillet and stir to combine. Add ricotta cheese in 1-tablespoon dollops around the skillet. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to set up. Sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes before serving.

Steps:

• Use mandoline slicer or knife to slice zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices in small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice; toss.
• In another small bowl, beat remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the cream cheese, chives and salt with whisk until well blended.
• Arrange zucchini slices on large platter. Top each slice with generous teaspoon cream cheese mixture, a few red pepper slices and some crumbled feta cheese. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the red peppers with olive oil. Grill peppers under the broiler until the skin is blackened, and the flesh has softened slightly. Place peppers in a paper bag or resealable plastic bag to cool for approximately 45 minutes.
• Remove the seeds and skin from the peppers (the skin should come off the peppers easily now). Cut peppers into small pieces.
• In a skillet, cook and stir the garlic, basil, and red peppers in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, so that the flavors mix.
• Place mixture in blender (careful it is hot), and puree to desired consistency. Return puree to skillet, and reheat to a boil. Stir in the half-and-half and the Romano cheese; cook and stir until the cheese melts. Add the butter, and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
