I use a julienne peeler for this recipe. I've tried to use a wide cheese grater but did not have as much success. A julienne peeler is not expensive and it's a lot of fun to use. It looks just like a vegetable peeler but when you use it it cuts long strips of vegetables or fruit. It is great for coleslaw or imitating spaghetti like I wanted to do tonight.
Zucchini Spaghetti
3 zucchini julienned
2 tbsp of butter
2 garlic cloves
3 diced scallions
5 cooked and diced slices of bacon. (if you made a bunch with Bacon Tips it will come in handy)
2 diced Roma tomatoes (any kind of tomato is fine)
Melt the butter in a frying pan with a high brim.
Add garlic into melted butter cook on medium until you can start to smell the garlic.
Add bacon and onions cook while stirring for 2 minutes.
Add zucchini tossing it a few times to coat with butter .Cover pan and let cook stirring occasionally for approximately 7 minutes.
Add tomatoes and toss again cook for another 3 minutes.
I served this with a delicious rib eye simply seasoned with salt and pepper, and a basic side salad. When the weather is unpleasant, like today, we like to cook our steaks in a cast iron pan on the stove. Pioneer Woman has the best instructions for cooking a steak in a pan so there is no reason to repeat them here.
Hello beautiful dinner.
What a colorful dinner!
