Creamy Curry Spiralized Zucchini Pasta
Description
Creamy Curry Spiralized Zucchini Pasta highlights fresh zucchini noodles tossed with softly blanched broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. These vegetables are briefly steamed to retain their brightness and tender-crisp texture. Sautéed onions add mild sweetness and depth, while a curry powder-spiced mayonnaise sauce introduces a subtle zest and creaminess. Garlic and mustard powders enrich the sauce's flavor, balanced with a touch of white vinegar for brightness.
The combination of raw or lightly steamed zucchini with the warm vegetable medley offers a blend of crisp and tender textures. The use of mayonnaise or yogurt-based sauce ensures a creamy coating without heaviness. This preparation suits those looking to enjoy vegetable variety with a mild, mildly spiced twist.
Vegetables are quickly blanched and immediately drained to preserve color and avoid overcooking. Spiralizing the zucchini right before serving maintains its fresh texture. The recipe allows flexibility to serve the zucchini raw or briefly steamed, depending on preference.
Nutrition information is estimated and can be adjusted to portion size. Adding fresh herbs like green onion and parsley at the end enhances freshness and visual appeal.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini large
- 1-2 cups Veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrots)
- ¼ tsp curry powder (plus extra if you're feeling feisty)
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
CREAMY CURRY SAUCE:
- 3 TBSP mayonnaise fresh or store bought or yogurt
- ½ tsp curry powder plus extra to taste
- ½ tsp white vinegar
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp mustard powder if you have it!, or turmeric
EXTRAS:
- green onion chopped
- parsley fresh
Instructions
- Bring a pot or skillet with about 1/2 inch of shallow water to a boil, toss in broccoli florets, cauliflower florets and chopped carrots and allow to blanch for just a few minutes to soften. Once the broccoli is bright green and starts to tenderize, it should be good to go! You can also steam your veggies or sauté if preferred.
- While the veggies cook, heat a skillet with a little bit of olive, grape-seed, or coconut oil and sauté onions until tender.
- Remove your blanched veggies from heat, strain in a colander, and add to the onions.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, a sprinkle of garlic powder and 1/4 tsp curry powder.
- Stir to incorporate and remove from heat once veggies reach desired tenderness. Since you already blanched them, this will take no time at all. Woot!
- Next, use a spiral slicer to crank the zucchini into delicious veggie curls. Alternatively you can easily use a veggie peeler or mandolin slicer to do the same!
- Serve your zuke raw [or steamed... but it rocks raw!] with your heaping pile of curried veggies and top with a delicious drizzle of creamy curry dressing.
- To make the dressing, whisk together mayo, vinegar and spices and serve at room temperature. Garnish with green onions and a sprinkle of parsley.
Notes
- May use raw or lightly steamed zucchini noodles to vary texture.
- Adjust curry powder amounts to personal taste preference for spice level.
- Blanch mixed vegetables briefly to soften while retaining color and freshness.
- Fresh green onion and parsley make excellent garnishes to brighten flavor.
- Nutrition estimates should be adjusted based on actual serving size and ingredients used.
