Italian Spiced “Pasta”
Serves 4
Vegan Recipe This dish is loaded with vegetables. In fact, it is pretty much
nothing but! The zucchini, when sliced with a mandolin, makes an excellent
substitute for pasta that is filling and high in fiber, but without all those pesky
carbs. Serve this with a green salad for a delicious plant-based meal you’ll return
to again and again.
