Dinner: Zucchini Pasta
We all love pasta. Add just some tomatoes and pesto and you can have a delicious meal done in no-time. Unfortunately, this is definitely not a guilt-free kind of meal. However, there are many alternatives to the well-loved dish which are based on vegetables. For instance, the zucchini pasta: Ingredients • 1 zucchini • Plain tomato sauce • Italian herbs & oregano • 100-150 grams of chicken (or turkey) breast • Any other kind of vegetable you like. • Olive or coconut oil Tools • A wok • A frying pan • A kitchen knife • A cutting board • A cheese or spiral slicer, or a julienne peeler
These are your steps • Cut off the ends of the zucchini and slice it into thin straps. Leave the straps on a plate instead of the board before you start cutting the chicken. • Heat up the oil in the frying pan, and add the pieces chicken as soon as the oil is heated. • While frying the chicken, put the zucchini straps into the wok (without any oil!). Let them warm up on a low temperature for a minute before putting them on a plate. • Add the tomato sauce to the frying pan and mix it with the herbs. Let it heat up for about 3 minutes. • Add the now golden-brown chicken to the sauce, give it a good steer and leave it for another 3 minutes. • Pour the sauce on the zucchini. • Enjoy!
