Who needs tomato sauce....Zucchini Sauce

Image result for zucchiniI HATE tomato sauce.  I know I am weird, but if it is not covered in tons of cheese and possibly pepperoni. ..I am not eating it.
So....what do i use instead...
Alfredo sauce? 
LOVE IT
Butter and cheese?
OMG heaven
However they both have a ton of calories......soooooo
I came up with this recipe when I was making baby food and surprisingly...I kinda love it!! I do have the urge to add a pound of cheese but I want to do that on every meal.  But for a quick, healthy, and easy dinner...this is perfect. I recommend  serving this with chicken or shrimp.
This recipe makes diner for 2-3  adults.

WHAT YOU NEED
1  large massive zucchini  or 2 small to regular zucchinis
2 cloves of garlic
Salt
Pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp lemon juice

WHAT YOU DO
1~Cute the zucchini into pieces.   Honestly  this can be diced or sliced..it does not matter you are blending it.
2~ Put on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes.
3~ Let cool a little. Put in blender with Olive oil and the garlic cloves.  USE A TOWEL ON TOP TO HELP WITH STEAM OTHER YOU MAY BURN YOURSELF.
Blend until pureed.
4~Taste add salt, pepper and lemon juice.
You are done this is perfect to go over pasta and/or chicken.  It is also a fabulous way to sneak veggies into kids.
Oh and add a little  cheese on top if you want....or a lot ....
Enjoy!!
