Course: Main Dish
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 3-4 zucchini
  • Peppers and onions or another vegetable of your choice
  • 1 serving of lemon basil walnut pesto
  • 1 lb meat of choice. I used precooked Italian chicken sausage.
  • Fresh basil for topping if desired
  • pinch salt I love this Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

  • Using a mandoline slicer or spiralizer, create your zucchini noodles. I use this one
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat using olive oil, and cook meat until done.
  • Remove meat from pan and set aside. Add additional olive oil to pan and heat zucchini and peppers and onions in pan until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the zucchini will become mushy.
  • Drain liquid from vegetables and remove from heat. Add pesto and sausage and mix together in pan. Top with fresh basil, lemon or parmesan cheese, if desired.
