The Origin of Inspiration
This recipe was born from the search for a light and tasty meal that combined healthy and easy-to-find ingredients.
The idea came about when I saw the abundance of fresh zucchini at the market and the desire to use them in a different way than the traditional sauté.
Tofu, rich in protein and versatile in preparation, came into play to complete the dish and make it a complete option from a nutritional point of view.
The end result is this Zucchini Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce and Sautéed Tofu, an explosion of colors, textures and flavors that promises to surprise you!
