Ingredients
-
1 large zucchini
-
½ cup vegetable broth, or as needed, divided
-
1 small onion, diced
-
1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 small tomato, diced
-
1 small portobello mushroom, cubed
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
2 teaspoons dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
-
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
-
½ (12 ounce) package veggie meat substitute (such as Yves® Ground Round)
-
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
Directions
-
Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade. Set aside.
-
Combine 1/4 cup broth, onion, and tomato paste in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, mushroom, garlic, oregano, thyme, tarragon, and marjoram. Cook until the mushroom just begins to soften, about 3 minutes more.
-
Stir veggie meat, spinach, and remaining 1/4 cup broth into the pan with the mushroom mixture. Add an additional 1/4 cup broth if the pan seems dry. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender and sauce is beginning to thicken, about 10 minutes.
-
Stir zucchini noodles into the pan with the sauce and cook to desired firmness, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Cook's Notes:
Don't have a spiralizer on hand? Using a vegetable peeler: Apply light pressure with a vegetable peeler along the sides of the zucchini for wide, fettuccine-like slices. Or use a grater: Roughly shred the vegetable lengthwise against a box grater. Press away excess liquid. Noodles will be shorter.
Try mushroom broth, if you prefer.
