Basil and Zucchini Angel Hair Pasta
Serves 1
Ingredients
4 ounces of angel-hair soy noodles (shirataki)
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 cup zucchini, sliced thinly into half moons
1/2 cup red pepper, thinly sliced
Salt to taste
1 tsp of crushed garlic
1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp of low fat parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Rinse and drain Shirataki noodles well. Pat dry using paper towels. Put in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave for 1 minute or boil for 2-3 minutes to get rid of aroma from noodles. Drain excess liquid and pat dry.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, red peppers, salt, garlic and fresh basil. Cook until heated through (4-5 minutes).
3. Add pasta to skillet and toss with vegetables.
4. Plate pasta and vegetables and top with grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
