Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • ~1½-2 cups diced zucchini (1 zucchini)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cup chopped kale
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil and garlic
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (2-3 pinches)
  • 2¼ cup vegetable stock or broth
  • 8 ounces NOW Foods gluten free spaghetti (broken in half)
  • ¼ cup whipping cream
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and ½ tablespoon butter and cook onion for 2 minutes, add zucchini and garlic and saute ~2 minutes longer.
  2. Next, add fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, kale, marinara, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Turn to high heat and stir in vegetable broth, when bubbles start to form on the edges add the broken spaghetti. Gently stir the best you can (some of the pasta might not be covered at this point). Cover with lid and reduce heat to a low simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  3. After 10 minutes, pasta might still be a little firm. Turn heat off and let pot sit on the hot stove top for 5 minutes. Stir again and check for doneness.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup of cream and parmesan cheese, add more red pepper flakes if desired and enjoy!
  5. Serve with additional parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
Notes
If you are serving kids you might want to omit or decrease the amount of red pepper flakes used and stir it directly into the adult bowls.
