The food we put into our bodies dictates how we feel. Food is life.
This recipe really just takes a few minutes. This is a great last minute weekday meal that can be simply prepared and served a million different ways. There is so much room to play here with this recipe. You can add cleaned, peeled raw shrimp to the tomatoes while they are cooking. You can cook a gorgeous piece of dover or lemon sole in parchment paper in the oven to serve along side this dish. You can also add 1 cup of cooked or organic canned beans (garbanzo, cannelloni, adzuki, mung) to this dish, and wow! Delicious. All so simple, hearty, and healthy.
Spiraled vegetables are becoming increasingly popular, you can easily find root veggies, zucchini or butternut squash already spiraled for you at the grocery store. I know that Whole Foods has a variety. Otherwise you can surely do it yourself with your spiralizer.
