Creamy Curry Spiralized Zucchini Pasta
Creamy Curry Spiralized Zucchini Pasta blends spiralized zucchini with blanched mixed vegetables tossed in a curry-spiced mayonnaise sauce. The dish features tender steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots combined with sautéed onions and a lightly spiced creamy curry dressing. The fresh zucchini provides a crisp contrast to the warm, soft vegetables and rich sauce, making it a light yet flavorful vegetable-forward meal or side.
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.
