Here is how you make Zuchinni / Red Pepper Alfredo:

Prepare all vegetables in advance, as this recipe moves quickly once you apply heat.First roughly chop the onions, dice the pepper, and then mince the garlic. When you start with the zucchini, you need to top and tail (remove both ends), then start peeling. First remove the outer skin, it will be an awkward texture in this recipe. Once you do that, using a vegetable peeler, peel around the zucchini, rotating in your hand. This makes noodle like strands. Don't worry about being perfect. When it becomes to hard to peel ribbons off, then it is time to set that piece aside and do another. When all the ribbons are made, dice the remaining zucchini.Heat a large saute pan, and add the oil. Always preheat your oil before cooking, it prevents the food from becoming greasy. I like to toss a small drop of water (flick a damp hand) at the pan, and see if it sizzles. Be careful of course. Once it sizzles... its time to cook. Order matters, as some veggies will get mushy if over cooked. I use a medium/high heat. Your stove may vary.1: Toss in the onions and red pepper at the same time. Saute until onions start to soften and become clear.2: Add garlic until it starts to soften. Grind some pepper over the pan if you wish at this point.3: Add diced zucchini, and saute until softens.4: Remember, keep these veggies moving, or they may burn. Just do not over work them, or you will break apart the softening veggies.5: Now toss in the "noodles" strands of zucchini, toss with other veggies, and heat through, they will cook quick. No more than 1 minute at this stage.6: Add the alfredo sauce, and heat through.Serve and enjoy. It is not "like a pasta" in the sense it is heavy. Tons of nutrients and veggies, but still a nice comfort food of a creamy sauce. At 300 calories for a big bowl as pictured... Mmm!Serving Size: Makes 2 large servings. Calories etc depend on sauce used.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FATGAYVEG.
