Zucchini Pasta with Queso Fresco

I love summer because it motivates me to use all those beautiful vegetable and fruit colors in the kitchen. It’s this time of the year when it is particularly pleasant to cook lighter meals and even better, if they don’t take long to prepare, because the kids are on vacation during this time.

Today I prepared my very tasty pasta in quite a different way. This time I did not use the traditional pasta made of flour, but instead I used the very versatile zucchini. I recommend you purchase a vegetable spiralizer, because it makes things much easier to do. However, if you do not have one, you can use a grater on its largest grating side.

For the sauce, I used Cacique® Crema Mexicana in order to balance out the tomato sauce and the other vegetables. Additionally, I used Cacique® Queso Fresco, which helps bring a precise and very delicious flavor to the sauce and to the zucchini spirals. You will realize that this is a very flavor and color balanced dish, plus it is a fresh way to enjoy a “pasta” dish. I dare you to try this dish and I hope you enjoy this fabulous and quick recipe that’s ideal for lunch or dinner.
