Gluten-Free Zucchini Pasta Primavera
Ready In: 45 mins
Yields: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3⁄4 cup sliced onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups sliced white mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced carrot
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons smooth cashew butter
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb zucchini, cut into long strands
Directions
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green, tender-crisp and slightly undercooked, 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, carrots and peppers, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Combine with the broccoli.
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; immediately reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cashew butter until the mixture is smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and the mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss with the vegetables.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat; add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve the zucchini "pasta" topped with the vegetables.
