Recipe: Zucchini "Pasta"

I can't say I really miss "regular" pasta at all.  Maybe it's just been too long since I've had any.  However, I do love the flavors that go along with pasta: oregano, basil, olive oil, etc.  Here is one of my favorite "pasta" recipes I've thrown together.  Feel free to use no meat, different meat, or different veggies that you tolerate.  In the summer this can be served chilled too as a salad.

Zucchini "Pasta"

1/4 c chopped green onions
1/4 c red pepper, chopped
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
Fresh oregano, chopped
Fresh basil, chopped
Fresh rosemary
2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP ghee (or butter if tolerated)
1 chicken breast
Salt and Pepper to taste

Melt the ghee in a pan over medium low heat.  Mince the rosemary and sprinkle it along with salt and pepper on the chicken breast.  Cook in the pan with the ghee covered, about 7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the chicken breast.  While steaming the vegetables below let the chicken breast rest, then chop it.



Spiral the zucchini and yellow squash using a spiral tool like this one.  Put the zucchini and squash  as well as the red pepper and green onions in a steamer basket. Steam about 3-5 minutes, then set over a plate for a few minutes to drain.  Transfer the drained vegetables to a large bowl and add the herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss.  Add the chicken to the top.



Enjoy!
