Zucchini Ribbons With Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Trim and peel the zucchini, then use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons (stop when you get to the seeds). Cut the ribbons into 1/4-to-1/2-inch-wide strips to make them look like fettuccine. Transfer to a colander and toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes using a sharp vegetable peeler, then halve horizontally and squeeze out the seeds. Puree 1 tomato with the olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl. Chop the remaining 4 tomatoes and add to the bowl; add the pine nuts, basil, oregano, and salt to taste.
• Divide the zucchini among bowls and top with the tomato sauce. Top with more pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add zucchini and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and tomato. Season with herbes de provence, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir in basil and serve.

Steps:

• Quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Remove ribs and seeds from peppers; cut into 3/4-inch squares.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Saute onion and garlic in olive oil.
• Add fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and juice; simmer 15 minutes.
• Add red wine, spices.
• Boil zucchini in salted water for 15 seconds; drain.
• Arrange ribbons on a platter, spoon sauce over and sprinkle with Parm.

Steps:

• If using large tomatoes score the bottoms with an X cutting through outer skin only. Bring a small pot of water to boil over medium heat and submerge the tomatoes for 1 minute. Remove and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed and chop them into a fine dice, about 1/4-inch. Reserve in small bowl. If using grape tomatoes, cut them in half and reserve.
• Put the stock and saffron into a small pot over medium-low heat. Simmer gently. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat for the pasta. When the water is at a full, rolling boil, salt the water and add the pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente. Drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan, and the butter. When the butter melts into the oil add the shallots, zucchini, garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and let them heat through. Add the pasta and stir gently.
• Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl with 1/2 cup of the saffron stock. Pour the remaining stock and tempered eggs over the pasta and turn off the heat. Toss the pasta and the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken the sauce.
• Serve the pasta immediately in shallow bowls garnished with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices using slicer. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
• Add half of zucchini to garlic oil and sauté, turning and stirring frequently, until just tender but not golden, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a platter using tongs.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil, then sauté and season remaining zucchini in same manner and transfer to platter. Sprinkle zucchini with zest and toss gently using tongs.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter with oil over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir until tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender and sauce reaches desired consistency, 50-60 minutes. Serve with pasta.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute zucchini until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season zucchini with oregano and basil. Add tomato sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over zucchini mixture.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil, add the garlic and cook 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer slowly for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add salt, sugar, pepper and tomato paste and simmer again for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook until just pierceable (about 15 minutes). Stir in the chopped basil and cool. Serve cold.

• In saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.
• Add tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper, cook, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes or until excess moisture has evaporated.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, slice unpeeled zucchini lengthwise into long wide strips about 1/8 inch thick.
• (Use a veggie slicer or I find a veggie peeler is best, in long single swipes.) In a large frypan, heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil over high heat.
• Add half of the zucchini strips and half of the garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne, cook, stirring almost constantly for about 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender and golden, being careful not to break it.
• Remove to paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in low oven.
• Repeat with remaining oil, zucchini, garlic and cayenne.
• Arrange zucchini mixture on warmed serving platter.
• Pour sauce over and sprinkle with parmesan.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute zucchini and onion in butter until tender. Add the tomatoes, garlic salt and pepper; saute 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through.
