Arribbiata with Zucchini Noodles

 I'm wrapping up #FarmersMarketWeek with a new spin on one of my favorite dishes, arribbiata. The word means angry in Italian, but I promise you won't be mad at this dish!  The recipe comes from one of my awesome fellow Taste of Home Community Cooks, Courtney Stultz. 

I did make one change to her recipe.  Since it's tomato season here, I didn't use the canned tomatoes as called for.  For yesterday's recipe, Smoky Grilled Corn Salsa, I had to grill up tomatoes, so I just did a bunch of extra to use in this.  I loved the extra flavor that bit of char gave them.

This recipe also gave me an excuse to break the spiralizer out of the box that my guys gave me for Christmas two years ago.  I kept saying I was going to get to making something with it, and somehow never did.  Now I just want to spiralize everything, it's so much fun! 

I'm just going to put this out there- zucchini is not pasta.  It's not going to have the same texture as pasta, or taste like pasta.  But it is delicious, especially when you pair it with a flavorful sauce like this one.

Arribiata with Zucchini Noodles

Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can petite diced tomatoes (14-1/2 ounces) undrained
• 1/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (1/2 to 1)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• ZUCCHINI NOODLES:
• 2 large zucchini
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Chopped fresh parsley, optional

instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, honey, vinegar and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until flavors are blended, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. For noodles, trim ends of zucchini. Using a spiralizer, cut zucchini into thin strands. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; cook until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly with tongs (do not overcook). Sprinkle with salt. Serve with sauce. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
