Zucchini is the vegetable with the least calories and zucchini are an ideal vegetarian dish for both adults and the little ones in the house
Did you know that zucchini is the vegetable with the fewest calories? Perhaps that is the reason that explains why this vegetable is the most used in the kitchen for all the different ways that there are to eat it. For example: have you tried stuffed zucchini? And as a base for pizza? They can also be eaten with their skin on, as Catalina Prieto advised us. And don’t forget to add a dash of lemon!
Now you should try, if you haven’t done it before, to eat them as pasta. The idea is to put aside the pasta (it is advisable to take it whole) and prepare a vegetarian recipe that both children and adults will like.

Peel and chop a garlic, onion and leek and sauté over medium heat in a pan with a splash of EVOO. Meanwhile, with a thick pencil sharpener, we prepare the zucchini spaghetti. We booked.
Chop the carrot and add it to sauté. Heat, in another pan, a splash of EVOO with the other sliced garlic clove so that it browns.
Once golden, we remove, add the zucchini and sauté it for a few minutes until it has ‘withered’ a bit. Then we reserve. Chop the peppers and broccoli and add it to the rest of the vegetables.
Add the glass of vegetable broth to finish cooking. We crush the tomatoes with the almonds, salt and pepper and add it to the rest of the vegetables. We raise the heat a little more and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Place the spaghetti on a plate and add the sauce on top.
