Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained and rinsed
2 medium cloves garlic (peeled)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (spiralized (I use the ribbons blade on my spiralizer))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Fresh minced parsley and/or fresh basil cut into ribbons
Extra drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Add the drained beans, garlic, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pitcher of a blender (high-speed blender is best). Puree, blending for about a minute until completely smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. You may also want to add more garlic if your garlic is mild and/or you reallllly love garlic.
  • Make and cook the zucchini pasta: Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into ribbons. Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. When hot, add the zucchini. Saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and reduced in size a bit, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sauce! Pour the sauce over the top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Top with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve.
