Zoodles - Zucchini Noodles in Red Pepper Sauce

Zucchini noodles in red pepper sauce.. The taste of noodles in a healthy way.. Im very fond of anything noodliee.. Be it maggiee, schezwan noodles or spaghetti.. It comes in my list of comfort food.. Having these on a regular basis was unhealthy.. So I had to think of a way out.. And after surfing a lot on the net, i came across something known as "Zoodles".. As the diet conscious people would love to call it.. The feeling of having noodles in a healthy way.. This served my purpose of having noodles on a regular basis..

Ingredients:
1 zucchini
1 red bell pepper
4 garlic flakes chopped
2tbsp tomato sauce
2tsp red chilli sauce
Salt to taste
1tsp vinegar
1tsp mixed herbs
1tbsp olive oil

Method: Grate zucchini into big juliennes along with skin.. Remove the middle soft part.. Now apply oil to the bell pepper and roast on medium flame till it gets charred.. Alternatively you can grill it in oven too for 12-15mins, rotating in between.. Once charred, let it cool, then peel it and blend into a smooth paste.. Heat olive oil in a pan.. Add garlic and saute for few seconds.. Donot brown.. Add in roasted bell pepper puree and cook for 2-3minutes.. Add in the sauces and herbs.. Add salt according to taste.. You might want to add only 1/4tsp of salt and not more.. Mix well and then add in zucchini noodles... Mix well on high flame.. Zucchini tends to leave water.. So you will have to cook it on high flame for a min.. Off gas and leave it covered for few minutes till the flavours blend well.. Sprinkle little more herbs and serve warm..
