Serve The Lord With Gladness

Oodles of Zoodles! This is a healthy and delicious way of having pasta. No, I didn't buy another nifty kitchen gadget called spirilizer to spirilized the zucchini. I use a vegetable shredder which works just as well.

To keep this meal healthy, I have it with a quick home cooked tomato stew and buttermilk roast chicken.

Zoodles In Tomato Stew for one

1 large tomato
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme/rosemary(I used both)
1 tsp of chopped garlic
2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and black pepper to taste.


Method

• Chop tomato into small cubes. 
• Minced garlic and chop the fresh herbs
• Heat the oil in the pan, fry garlic and add the chopped tomatoes. 
• Throw in the herbs and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook tomatoes in low heat for about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the zoodles.
