Zucchini Spaghetti with Lentil Marinara



 Zucchini Spaghetti with Lentil Marinara

I'm going to make a confession right now . . . I may love Zucchini in my cakes and other Sweet Treats, but I do not really care for it by itself.  I don't know what it is, but I really am not that big of a fan.

Then, our neighbor dropped off one Zucchini.

One little, lonely Zucchini.

One was not enough to shred and freeze and it was too hot to bake any Sweet Treats.

That's when a recipe popped up on Pinterest.  So, I pinned it in my Recipes to Try Page.

I made it the next evening.  I was VERY WORRIED that my oftentimes picky girls wouldn't eat it.  BUT - they LOVED it.

I used the food processor to shred the Zucchini as I don't have the spiralizer.  I just used my generic lentils from the pantry.

This turned out to be a very quick and easy recipe that I will be certain to make again if I ever get a single Zucchini to grow in my garden!  Or if some kind neighbor drops off another one or two ;)
