Makes enough for 4 as a main. Hello leftovers.
I went rogue on this one and changed a lot of the original recipe. Turns out I'm pretty creative. This would be bomb with the Almond Caesar previously made. Put the two together and boom.
Ingredients:
RED PEPPER SAUCE
2 Roasted red bell peppers, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 Jar of Sprouts Tomato Basil sauce
PASTA
1 pound spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine (I used whole grain spaghetti)
4 medium zucchini
1 cup basil, sliced into thin strips
1 pound ground turkey or beef
grated parmesan (optional)
ONE: Make the sauce first. Cut the peppers into pieces. In a medium saucepan add a teaspoon olive oil and sauté the peppers for about 15-20 minutes to get them nice and cooked on medium heat. You can season them with salt and pepper if you'd like. Once these are roasted put them in a blender with the rest of the ingredients for the sauce MINUS the jar of tomato basil sauce and let that ish blend to a nice saucy mixture. You'll add the jar of sauce later trust me.
TWO: Now cook the pasta according to the package directions.
THREE: Cut the zucchini into coins. In a medium saucepan add a teaspoon of olive oil and turn the heat to medium-low. Add the zucchini coins and sauté them up. You'll keep these separate from the sauce and pasta and just add them later.
FOUR: Now it's time to cook the ground turkey or beef, whatever you picked. Once your meat is cooked add the red pepper sauce from the blender and the jar of tomato basil sauce. Mix it all together and you're good to go.
FIVE: Grab a nice sized bowl add pasta, then some zucchini, then the meaty sauce, fresh basil, and top if off with grated parmesan, if you have any.
So good.
