Zucchini Tomato Sauce With Fat Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, about 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes into the skillet with your hands and add the juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the capellini and cook as the label directs. Drain and add to the sauce along with the basil; toss to coat. Top with parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute zucchini until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season zucchini with oregano and basil. Add tomato sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over zucchini mixture.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter with oil over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir until tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender and sauce reaches desired consistency, 50-60 minutes. Serve with pasta.

Steps:

• Trim and peel the zucchini, then use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons (stop when you get to the seeds). Cut the ribbons into 1/4-to-1/2-inch-wide strips to make them look like fettuccine. Transfer to a colander and toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes using a sharp vegetable peeler, then halve horizontally and squeeze out the seeds. Puree 1 tomato with the olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl. Chop the remaining 4 tomatoes and add to the bowl; add the pine nuts, basil, oregano, and salt to taste.
• Divide the zucchini among bowls and top with the tomato sauce. Top with more pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Combine the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, fennel, onion, garlic and oregano in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, red pepper flakes and a pinch each of salt and pepper and give it a good toss. Dump that out onto 2 baking sheets and spread it out evenly. Roast until the squash and other vegetables begin to caramelize, 15 to 25 minutes. Scrape the vegetables into a large bowl and cover with a plate to keep warm.
• The pasta water should be boiling by now. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate the strands. Cook until al dente, 8 to 9 minutes, then drain.
• Toss the spaghetti with the vegetable mixture. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and toss together. Divide among bowls. Garnish with parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix tomato sauce, tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and red pepper flakes into ground beef; cook and stir until sauce is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir tomato paste into sauce.
• Mix zucchini "noodles" into sauce, pressing down to fully submerge them; simmer over medium-low heat until zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Add oil to skillet. When oil is hot, add the garlic and saute 30 seconds.
• Add zucchini and stir-fry two minutes.
• Add tomatoes and saute for three minutes. Then add tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste first and, if necessary, add salt and sugar. (Mr. Perlman suggests adding the sugar only to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes.)
• Just before serving, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; cook for five minutes. Serve with the pasta prepared al dente.
