"Spaghetti"

Ingredients:

small or part of an onion

few cloves garlic

1 16 oz can  tomatoes

several leaves fresh basil (5-ish)

other herbs you like if you have them (I used my favorite, chives)

1 carrot

1 medium zucchini

2 Tbsp pine nuts

This serves 1, so double it for 2.    Cut up onions and garlic into not small pieces, say 0.5-1 inch.  Start cooking them in juice from can of tomatoes.  Grate the carrot into the cooking pan.  Let this cook for say 10 minutes.  Add the tomatoes.  Cook for another 15-20 minutes, until onions are tender.  Add the basil and herbs.  

Now for the fun part.  Peel the zucchini and then run it through a spiralizer.  Here's a link showing a spiralizer from amazon.com (if it gets out of date just type zucchini spiralizer into google and you'll find one).   This was my first use of my new spiralizer and it is really cool and easy to use.  The result looks just like cooked angel hair pasta, but zucchini is way healthier and I really like raw zucchini.   

Next, toast the pine nuts in a pan on the stove (no oil).  Then smash them in a mortar&pestal, or grind them a little in a coffee grinder, or smash them however you can think of.  Pour the tomato sauce on top of the "angel hair" zucchini, and top with the pine nuts.  

I enjoyed this a lot, but if you are used to a lot of oil and salt you may notice the lack of salt.  For a treat, you could add olives, which are salty.  I might do that next time for a treat.
