This dish is a healthy alternative to pasta that packs a huge flavor punch. It allows you to enjoy a plate full of creamy, hardy goodness without any of the guilt!

Ingredients

  • 3 Zucchinis, peeled
  • 1/4 cup Earth Balance
  • 2 tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Earth Balance Soymilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Curry Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

  1. First, peel long strips of the flesh of the zucchini.
  2. Toss them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes and then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, you can start on the sauce by melting the Earth Balance in a large saute pan over medium heat and then whisking in the flour so that it absorbs the butter.
  4. Then, gradually whisk in the milk. (I would add it 1/4 cup at a time and once it would begin to thicken, I would add another 1/4 cup.)
  5. Once it reaches the consistency of an Alfredo sauce, add the curry, turmeric, onion powder, nutritional yeast, paprika, and salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Mix well and then add the noodles into the sauce. Toss until well coated.
  7. Serve with some nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes, and paprika to garnish. Voila!
