Zucchini Tomato Pasta

After a long day out and about,  a nice plate of paste is one of the most wonderful things. I've recently fallen in love with Red Adzuki Bean pasta. It's low in carbs, full of protein, and oh-so tasty! I whipped together a simple little tomato-based sauce to go with it and my hunger was satisfied. Here is the recipe, you fine folk:

Zucchini Tomato Pasta

Ingredients:

For the sauce:
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 small zucchini, cut into quarters
1/4c water
1 1/2tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
a dash of salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Bring the tomatoes and water to a simmer and mash them until a saucy consistency is reached. 
2. Toss in the zucchini until it's softened a bit.
3. Add in the spices, stir and let sit for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce pot and mix until well coated.
5. Top off with some nutritional yeast then serve and enjoy!

Stay saucy.
