Creamy Pumpkin Sauce with Zoodles
If your looking for a great vegetarian meal packed with nutrients, try our creamy pumpkin sauce with zoodles. It's easy to make and is a perfect lunch or dinner option.
Add butter and garlic to sauce pan and heat over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add the pumpkin purée, chicken broth, half and half and spices and stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, place your spiralized zucchini noodles (zoodles) in a microwave safe dish. Add ¼ cup water and place a lid partially over the top, but with a space for the air to vent. Heat for 4 minutes, or until zucchini noodles are desired texture (for softer noodles, heat for 4 or more minutes. If you prefer more bite to your zoodles, stick to 2-3 minutes). Drain water and split zucchini noodles between 2 plates.
Remove sauce from heat and spoon over zoodles. To round out the meal, consider serving with a baked chicken breast or fillet of salmon. Enjoy!
