Chunky Eggplant Sauce for Pasta

Got an eggplant? Oh how you will love this delicious recipe!
This chunky eggplant sauce makes my mouth water! And it's fast and easy to make too!!

With only 5 ingredients, this vegetable sauce is a perfect complement for any kind of pasta ( gluten free of course), including low carb zucchini noodles which is what is in the photo below.

It does have a little kick to it, but of course you could be tone it down.
Made from entirely vegetables, this healthy sauce is low calorie and absolutely delicious and filling too.

I like to simmer the sauce covered on a very low flame for about forty minutes to allow the eggplant, red peppers, and tomato flavors to mingle while the vegetables soften and the sauce thickens.

I used the eggplant sauce two ways for dinner.

1. I ate my eggplant spaghetti sauce over zucchini noodles 
2. My husband ate his over gluten free brown rice noodles that I bought from Trader Joe's.

If you don't know how to make zucchini noodles, it's really really simple.
Buy a medium or large zucchini, cut it in half . place in the spiralizer, and turn the handle of your spriralizer ( I bought this one from Amazon Spiralizer By Palermo  I can make a bowl full for one person in 1 minute.

Some enjoy eating their zucchini noodles ( zoodles) raw; personally, I like mine tossed quickly in a skillet with a touch of olive oil. I like mine a little softened.

Where do you buy a spiralizer? 

They sell spiralizers in any store where they have kitchen items.
I bought a hand held spiralizer , but didn't like it. I found it too difficult to make a quantity of spirals.
 I then went online and bought the Palermo.
It's light, easy to use, and easy to wash.

Get one- they are reasonable and so so easy to use and clean up! Once you have one, you won't know how you lived without it! 

Spiralizer By Palermo- Voted the Best Vegetable Maker 

I highly recommend this one!!!
