This is a light alternative to wheat pasta.  To make the angel hair as pictured we have used a spiraliser.  However, if you are just trying out the recipe you could try either using a vegetable peeler to make strips, slice thinly with a knife to make fine strips or grate the zucchini.  Taste wise you will get the idea although the texture with the spiraliser gives the sensation of pasta and does hold better when heating the zucchini.

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion – peeled, rinsed, diced finely
  • 1 garlic clove – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 1 red capsicum – washed, deseeded, finely diced
  • 1 eggplant – peeled, washed, diced
  • 1 small red chilli – washed, sliced finely
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 680g / 24oz bottle pureed tomatoes
  • 6 zucchini – washed, spiralised or peeled / sliced / grated
  • 16 kalamata olives – deseeded, halved
