Recipes With Zucchini Noodles: Roasted Red Pepper Zucchini Noodles
We've rounded up some of our other favorite recipes with zucchini noodles, including this healthy dish that will satisfy your creamy pasta craving! This roasted red pepper "pasta" with zucchini noodles is slathered in a deliciously creamy red pepper sauce.
Ingredients
For the steak:
- 1.5 lbs flank steak, cut into bite-sized strips against the grain, (or sub skirt steak)
- 2 tbsp ghee, (or coconut oil for dairy free)
- Salt and pepper
For the sauce:
- 1 cup water
- 1 jar roasted red peppers, drained, (12 oz jar)
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 2 cups raw whole cashews
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
For the rest:
- 3 baby zucchini, spiralized into noodles, (trim noodles into shorter strands if desired)
- Parsley, chopped, (optional garnish)
Equipment
Instructions
- Make the sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients in a high powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Cut steak into strips as noted. Turn zucchini into noodles and chop parsley (optional). Gather remaining ingredients to have them ready.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ghee. Once hot, add steak strips and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and place on a plate.
- In the same pan, turn heat to low and add in the sauce. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to heat it up.
- Add the zoodles and steak into the pan with the sauce. Mix and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zoodles are warmed through.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute another protein like chicken, shrimp or Italian sausage. Just cook it in the pan before warming up the sauce (step 3) and adjust cooking time as needed.
- If desired, you can substitute another noodle. Just make sure to consider the cooking time for the noodles and make sure they are ready when the sauce is warmed through. You don’t want to leave the sauce simmering for too long, it will dry out.
