Angel Foods: Miraculous Main Dishes

This is a great use for some of the zucchini from your garden! Yellow squash, sweet potatoes, or yams shredded "angel-hair" thin also makes great pasta. We prefer it gently warmed, which softens it to an al dente texture, but don't over heat it if you want to protect those delicate enzymes!

Italian Zucchini Pasta with Spinach

Sauce

1/2 clove gtarlic, crushed
1Tbsp. flax oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. minced fresh basil
1 Tbsp. lime juice or balsamic vinegar
freshly ground pepper

2-3 medium zucchini, julienned or shredded lengthwise to resemble pasta (see Insights)
2 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced

2 cups (packed) spinach, washed, dried, and chopped

Combine ingredients for sauce and set aside.

 

Gently toss remaining ingredients together.

 

Pour sauce over vegetables and toss again. Serve at room temperature or gently heated.

 

Insights: Balsamic vinegars vary greatly in flavor due to aging methods and you'll see this reflected in store prices. this type of vinegar is very brown in color (which makes it unsuitable for potato salad and other dishes that are light in color) and is sweeter and milder than most other types of vinegars. Use Balsamic vinegar in marinades, salad dressings, and sauces, or anytime a sweet-and-sour flavor is desired.
