Zucchinipasta with the tastiest tomato sauce

I found this recipe on tasteline.se and I thought I had to try it. I modified it a little bit by serving it hot and adding some chicken and spinach.

Ingredients
serves 3-4
2 tomatoes
150 ml sundried tomatoes
1 red capsicum
2 garlic cloves, peeled
½ red chili
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tsk dried oregano
1 tsk dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 onion
½ capsicum
200 g cooked turkey/chicken
1 handful spinach
400 g zucchini

Cut the tomatoes and the capsicum in chunks and put them in a food processor together with the peeled garlic cloves, the chili, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Mix until a somewhat smooth consistency.

Slice the zucchini with a potato peeler so that you end up with thin slices (alternatively you can use a mandolin and julienne it). Place them in a colander and toss with plenty of salt. Leave the zucchini to sweat excess water in the sink for about 20 minutes.

Dice the onion, capsicum and turkey/chicken. Drizzle some olive oil in a pan and add the diced onion. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the capsicum and cook for another few of minutes. Once the onion and capsicum are soft, add the tomato sauce and let it simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes. Then add the chicken and spinach and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

While your sauce is simmering rinse and drain the zucchini and make sure to get rid of as much salt as possible. In a separate pan, heat up some olive oil and sauté the zucchini on low heat until it is heated through (normally takes a few minutes). Serve the sauce on top of the zucchini and enjoy!
