Zucchini Spaghetti with Eggplant Garlic Spread

I live for the Veggetti.  It’s this cute little gadget that makes veggies turn into spaghetti!  It is so easy to use and takes less than one minute to spiralize one zucchini.

Once I spiralize it, I saute it up with some olive oil and sea salt, and add some type of pre made sauce.   EASY.  QUICK.  HEALTHY.  Right up my alley.

Today I want to share my newest discovery from Trader Joe’s.  (Click here to see how I feel about Trader Joe’s.)

It’s called Eggplant Garlic Spread and like I stated above, after you saute the zucchini, mix some right in and you’ve got yourself an easy snack, side dish, or even a lunch if you throw in some beans or nuts for protein.

To show you just how easy it is, my daughter helped me create a new musicly:

 

As you know I am obsessed with eating enough vegetables on a daily basis.  I frequently eat salads for lunch, but sometimes I’m in the mood for something warm, and this is the perfect solution.

So next time you are in Trader Joe’s, pick some up, along with a zucchini and some parmesan, and give it a try!
