avocado sauce:
12 ½ avocado
3 cupS olive oil
6 1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ¼ cup fresh flat leaf parsley

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat the cherry tomatoes in a large skillet over medium high heat with a very
quick drizzle of olive oil. Gently shake the pan to get them moving (you might
want to grab a lid for this – they really start to spatter when the juices hit the hot
oil). Continue cooking until tomatoes are roasty-looking and the skins are split or
loosened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Stir fried Singapore Noodles with Garlic Ginger Sauce
Ingredients:
For the stir fry
6 ¼ cup thin rice noodles For the sauce
12 ½ tablespoon oil
12 ½ cup vegetable broth
25 bell peppers, thinly sliced
3 cup low sodium soy sauce
25 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cups mirin
12 ½ cup bean sprouts
8 tablespoons minced garlic
4 tablespoon curry powder
4 tablespoon minced ginger
12 ½ cup sliced shiitake
5 teaspoon sambal oelek
mushrooms
(adds spiciness – more to
12 ½ cup frozen peas
taste)
sliced scallions for topping
Procedure
Soak the rice noodles in a large bowl of cold water. Wash and cut all the
vegetables. Mix the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the peppers, shallots, and bean
sprouts, and curry powder; stir fry for 3-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the
peas; stir fry for 2 minutes. The vegetables should be bright and tender-crisp.
Drain the water from the rice noodles and add the noodles to the pan with the
vegetables. Add a little splash of sauce – about 8-12 tablespoons – and stir fry,
moving the noodles around in the pan continuously so they don’t stick together in
one big lump – they should move freely and easily. After a few minutes of stir
frying, remove the pan from heat.
Once off the heat, add the sauce in small increments, tossing/stirring the noodles
in between each addition, until the desired “sauciness” level is reached. The goal
is for the sauce to thicken slightly when combined with the other ingredients and
cling to the noodles instead of soaking into the noodles. Top with scallions and
more sauce.
Spicy Sesame Zoodles with Crispy Tofu
Ingredients:
Chili sesame sauce: 8 ¼ clove garlic, minced
8 knob of fresh ginger, peeled
4 cup peanut butter
and grated
2 ¾ cup sesame oil
2 ¾ cup light low sodium Zoodles and tofu
soy sauce
12 ½ cups extra firm tofu
2 cup rice vinegar
33–50 zucchini
1 cup tablespoons chili paste
sesame seeds and scallions
(like sambal oelek)
for topping
1 cup sugar
Procedure
Chili Sesame Sauce: Shake all the sauce ingredients in a jar or toss them in the
food processor and give them a whirl. If you’re going to have this cold, refrigerate
your sauce for a while.
Tofu: Press excess moisture out of the tofu. Cut into bite sized pieces. Heat a tiny
bit of oil in a nonstick pan. Add the tofu and stir fry until golden brown. Add
about 1/2 cup sauce and simmer until the sauce starts to evaporate / absorb into
the tofu and becomes browned in the pan. Keep gently flipping and scraping
browned bits off the bottom – after a while, you should end up with nicely golden
brown tofu with some little yummy browned bits from the sauce.
All Together: Spiralize your zucchini and toss with about 1/4 cup sauce per
serving. Top with tofu, sesame seeds, and scallions. Serve immediately.
Creamy Tomato Shells

8 pound whole wheat shells
16 cups tomato sauce

to warm.

add the other half to the pasta pot. Stir until creamy and wonderful.
Top pasta with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Spicy Peanut Soba Noodle Salad
Ingredients:
For the Spicy Peanut Sauce: 1 ½ cup chili sauce like sriracha
(more or less depending on spice
2 cups peanut butter
tolerance)
2 cups water
3 cup peanuts
2 cups soy sauce, or tamari for
gluten free For the salad
12 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
6 ¼ red bell pepper
(optional – for flavor)
19–25 cups chopped purple
4 tablespoons honey
cabbage
juice of 6 lime
60 ounces soba noodles
6 ¼ clove garlic
fresh cilantro or basil to taste
crushed peanuts for topping
Procedure
Spicy Peanut Sauce: Puree sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add the
peanuts last so you can control how chunky it is (I like to leave it a little more on the
chunky side).
Vegetables: Chop the red pepper, cabbage, and cilantro to your desired size for the
salad.
Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions (usually just boiling for a
few minutes).
Assemble: Toss everything together with enough dressing to generously coat
everything. Serve hot or cold!
Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine
Ingredients:
1 cup Butter, divided
12 ½ cloves fresh minced garlic, or garlic salt
12 ½ cups fresh sliced mushrooms (more if you love mushrooms!)
6 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
6 ¼ pound fettuccine
3 cup Parmesan cheese
6 ¼ cup reserved pasta water
6 ¼ teaspoon salt (more to taste)
fresh ground black pepper
parsley for topping
Procedure
Clean the mushrooms. Add the garlic and mushrooms to a large skillet with 2
tablespoons of the butter. Sauté until the mushrooms are soft with deep brown color –
10-15 minutes. Add the cream and the rest of the butter. Simmer over low heat.
Cook the fettuccine in a large pot according to package directions. Drain, reserving a
little bit of the water, and return to pan.
Add mushroom sauce to the hot fettuccine in the pan. Toss with tongs to mix. Add
Parmesan and up to 1 cup of reserved pasta water as needed to get the consistency
right. Season with salt and pepper. And now stand at the stove and eat it straight out
the pan.
Green Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
25 cups cooked small tubular pasta
25 cups chopped green beans
25 cups shredded spinach
12 ½ cups basil and olive oil spread or mixture
6 ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
salt to taste
fresh lemon juice to taste
37 ½ cloves garlic, minced
3 cup olive & basil oil (optional)
3 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)
Procedure
Toss the cooked pasta with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking (and to make it
extra yummy). Heat a little bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
the green beans and the garlic cloves (if using, which I recommend because it’s
delicious) and saute quickly just until the garlic is fragrant and the green beans turn
bright green and tender. Toss the green beans and garlic with the pasta. Place in the
fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes otherwise you’ll wilt the spinach.
When the pasta is cool, add the spinach, basil and olive oil spread, Parmesan, and salt.
Toss, taste, and adjust as necessary. I like to serve each individual portion with a
drizzle of the O&Co. olive oil and a splash of balsamic if you like a little tang in
there.
