Let's not mention the fact that I cut a big chunk of the top of my middle finger off grating some of the remaining zucchini to make some zucchini bread that didn't even turn out that well! My finger was all wrapped up and it appeared that I was continuously flipping everyone off. Oh well... salt water would fix that right up! :)
Anyway... this is some good stuff!
Pepperoni Pizza Zucchini Pasta
3 small zucchinis- and your trusty spiralizer1/2 C pepperoni- sliced
1 14oz can diced tomatoes
1 8 oz can tomatoe sauce
1/2 red onion- diced
1/2 green pepper- diced
1 C mushrooms- diced
2 small tomatoes- diced
1 T EVOO
4 garlic cloves- minced
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
1 t oregano
1 t italian seasoning
1 T nutritional yeast
salt & pepper to taste
Heat the EVOO over medium in a pan. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and saute a minute or so. Add the remaining veges and saute for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and sauce and let simmer for 10 minutes while you spiralize the zucchini. Add the zucchini noodles and sliced pepperoni and let simmer until the zucchini is softened. Stir in the nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste.

This is delicious, not to mention nice and light! Perfect especially considering I would be hanging out in bikinis for the next week or so! :)
