Quick and Easy Low Carb - Spiralized Zucchini with White Clam Sauce

This is hardly a 'recipe' but yet, it is a great brainstorm/hack for a quick and easy dinner. I had a really 'small' trip to the grocery store about a month ago where I only needed a few items so I had time and the budget to read labels and look for new products to try. I normally would make my clam sauce from scratch but I decided to read the labels of canned and found it to be a good item to have on hand in the pantry for a dinner 'emergency'. Normally I would have doctored this canned sauce up with a good 'homemade' alfredo sauce using some heavy cream, butter, cream cheese and parmesan. But it so happened that I had 1/2 jar of alfredo sauce in the refrigerator I had to use up as well so... there ya go!

White Clam Sauce over Spiralized Zucchini 'Pasta'

1 can Progresso Clam Sauce (or similar - look for 4 carb, 0 or less than 1 g sugar)
1/2 jar Bertolli Alfredo Sauce (or similar - this one has 2 carb, 0 sugar)
3 medium zucchini

Mix the clam sauce with the half jar (or use the whole jar for a creamier sauce or more sauce if you need to feed another person or two). Spiralize your zucchini. Warm the sauces either in the microwave or a pan on the stove. Boil a pan of water, add the zucchini and cook just 2 minutes or so until the zucchini loses the 'crunch' but isn't soft and mushy. Drain well, press a little bit as it holds a lot of water. I sometimes use paper towels to absorb a bit. Place in a serving bowl, top with the sauce.

* I serve it with the low carb, keto almond flour biscuits - my 'go to' for any biscuit need right now, recipe here: BISCUITS

I've talked about my vegetable spiralizer (spiral maker) a LOT on the website already - here is one of the links if you need to find one for your own home. I really love mine.

This site began in 2006 when I decided to use it to save and store my favorite collected recipes and food photos for easy access, and for my kids to use them in their cooking endeavors.

It's my own personal site but I keep it public so others can use it too. Today's food blogs seem to be about pretty food pictures and elaborate photo shoots; This blog isn't about pretty pictures - it's about the food.

I don't even always remember to take pictures of the food as I'm making it. My pictures are all snapped quickly with my iPhone. I'm just a wife and Mom who shares my cooking adventures and recipes.

I do not publish articles written by others as guest posts.
