Tomato Cream Sauce with Spiralized Yellow Squash "Noodles"

on

I wanted to try a Spiralizer, to get less processed food out of our diets, but still have the "mouth feel" of a noodle.  This was our first try, and it was such a success! My boys ate more yellow squash at one time, than ever before!
The original recipe, is here, and I pretty much followed it.  At the end, I panicked, and added more sauce, but then the squash released it's liquid, and my sauce became too soupy, and I had too much sauce.

 Tomato Cream Sauce with Spiralized Yellow Squash "Noodles"
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream (If you are vegan, then use Heavy Coconut Cream from a Can)
  • 1 Cup Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce.
  • 2 TBSP Butter (Dairy or Nondairy)
  • 4 1/2 Tsp Cornstarch (You can use Tapioca, Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder or more to taste
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder or more to taste
  • 5 Yellow Squash (Spiralized)
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan combine the cream, pizza sauce, butter, starch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; heat until thickened, whisking the whole time; set aside. Don't worry, this sauce will be thick at first but when the squash noodles are added it will thin out.
  2. Using a spiralizer make the Squash into noodles.
  3. Add in the Squash noodles into the sauce.
  4. Lightly boil noodles in sauce until cooked through. (1-3 minutes)
  5. After noodles have been added, make sure to taste and re-adjust seasonings.
My boys added Parmesan cheese, on top of theirs.
