Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Crushed Red Pepper - 1/2 tsp
  • Garlic - 3 cloves chopped
  • Fresh Zucchini Noodles - 1 16 ounce package
  • Salt - to taste not a lot
  • Black Pepper - to taste
  • Marinara Sauce - 12 ounces 1/2 a jar - I used Rao's Marinara
  • Kalamata Olives - 7 pieces
  • Fresh Basil - handful julienne
  • Trader Joe's Herb Goat Cheese - crumble some on top

Instructions

  • Chop up the garlic.</br></br>
  • Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add extra virgin olive oil followed by crushed red pepper.
  • Once the pepper flakes sizzle, add garlic and cook for only 10 seconds to prevent burning.
  • Add the zucchini noodles and toss. Allow the noodles to cook for 3-5 minutes while stirring in between.
  • In a separate pot on high heat, heat up half a jar of your favorite marinara sauce.
  • Add a few olives for extra flavor.
  • Cover with a lid so it heats up quick.
  • In the meantime, julienne fresh basil leaves. Set aside.
  • Check on the zucchini noodles, should be done. Season with very little salt and some black pepper. The jarred marinara sauce will have enough salt.
  • Once the sauce is done. Add the desired amount of sauce to your zoodles.
  • Toss.</br></br>
  • Top with fresh basil.</br></br>
  • Garnish with desired amount of goat cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

* This dish tastes amazing a few hours later. I reheated the zoodles over the stove and they were amazing.
** For additional protein, top with a fried egg, salmon or grilled chicken.
*** For Vegan option, omit cheese.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
