Zucchini and Portabella Spaghetti
"This recipe doesn't have tomato sauce, but it's nice and moist anyway! (Olive oil and vegetable jucies take care of dryness) I was digging around in the kitchen, craving pasta but not wanting red sauce again and threw this together. It's easy and it was a hit!"

Extremely yummy! Tastes like pasta with veggies and pesto, gotta love it :) I used gluten free pasta and instead of parmesan cheese pecorino which didn't really make a difference in taste I guess. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for PAC Fall 2012 -
I loved this recipe! It was just what I was looking with fresh veggies...I did add a little salt to it. Thanks for posting will definitely make again. -

I have learned to cook from several amazing sources. First, my lovely mother, to whom I owe credit for my ability to cook 'southern' type foods. Next, my awesome step mother who showed me favorites with an Italian twist. And finally, my friend, Dan, who introduced me to veggies I didn't know existed. He taught me many Mediteranian foods and spices that I use daily.
I am lucky to have lots of time to play in the kitchen; it's my excuse for not studying! I'm currently a nursing student, hoping to graduate in the next two years. Along with cooking, I love stamp collecting and reading. Yoga is also a favorite (very calming!)
