Tomato Free Zucchini Sauce for Pasta

Tomato Free Zucchini Sauce for Pasta - also Lectin-Free

Our bodies can heal themselves if we just listen! They tell us which foods they want or don’t want, but many of us aren’t tuned in to hear these messages. Often, we ignore the body’s urgent signals: headaches, arthritis, and muscle pain get masked by painkillers; high blood pressure and cholesterol by medication; constipation by laxatives; and skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis by creams. Even as the body speaks louder and louder—with weight gain, high cholesterol, sinus issues, ear infections, asthma, digestive trouble, muscle pain, anxiety, and more—we keep missing the messages.

The most common food sensitivities are to wheat, milk, corn, and refined sugar, though tomatoes can also be a problem for some people. If you’re avoiding tomatoes, try this tomato-free pasta sauce made with zucchini—it’s a perfect swap! Just remember, tomatoes are hidden in all kinds of products like ketchup, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, chili, and soups. Instead of ketchup with sandwiches or sausages, try mustard or pesto. On pizza, use roasted or grilled veggies instead of tomato sauce. For pasta, go for sautéed mixed vegetables, zucchini, or pesto for a tasty twist.

Tomato Free Zucchini Sauce Recipe

This I know that the name of this dish does not sound very appetizing but “zucchini mush” was the nickname my sisters and I gave my grandmother’s zucchini dish. I like it as a side dish or on pasta as an alternative to tomato sauce. This is good for people on The Gundry Diet and for people on a vegan diet.

2 tbsp olive oil
3 large zucchini, cut in ½” cubes
3 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup chopped parsley

In a shallow no-stick pan, heat olive oil and add the remaining ingredients. Sauté (stirring often) over medium-high heat until the zucchini starts to fall apart. When you watch the video, you will see that it took approximately 30 minutes.
Adjust seasoning and serve.
