Zoodles Primavera

The following recipe and photography was provided courtesy of Heinen’s Club Fx Recipe Developer and Food Photographer, Allianna Moximchalk from Allianna’s Kitchen.

Heinen’s and I share a love for fresh vegetables, and this Zoodles Primavera really hits the spot! The freshly spiralized zucchini noodles in the Heinen’s Produce Department combined with a rainbow of other veggies and a creamy, “buttery” garlic sauce is so good and so convenient to make! It’s my favorite lighter alternative for heavy pasta.

Pre-Spiralized Zoodles

To make the sauce, I used ghee, which is a healthier alternative for butter. Actually, ghee is made from butter, but the milk proteins are removed. For those with dairy sensitivities, ghee may be an option that their bodies can tolerate. If you are vegan, you can simply substitute the ghee with avocado oil.

No matter how you make it, this healthier spin on pasta is bound to be delicious!

By Heinen's Grocery Store
In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
