Zucchini and Bean "Pasta"

So, I really love pasta but, I don't love what it does it to my butt. I came up with an alternative. Its a quick and easy faux pasta. It took all of maybe 15-20 minutes to make and it is so delicious! Try it out and leave me some comments on what you thought or some of your zucchini "pasta" recipes. Enjoy! 


Here's the Ingredients

1 small - medium zucchini- julienned  

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp un-salted butter

1 can white beans - rinsed 

salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan, melt butter and add olive oil and garlic. Infuse the oil and butter for about 2 minutes with the garlic and then add the zucchini. Saute' for about another 2 minutes while you rinse and drain your beans. Now add your beans and heat through. Salt and pepper to taste. You can top with a little crushed red pepper and Parmesan cheese if you prefer. All the flavors of Italy without the guilt. 

P.S. I got my handy little julienne tool off of amazon.
