Zucchini Noodles with Sausage and Pesto
Pesto 1 clove garlic 2 1/2 cups fresh basil 1/4 cup pine nuts 1/4 cup olive oil salt and pepper
Vegetable and Sausage Saute 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 packages (6 count) Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves 1 package cremini mushrooms, chopped 1 can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed 1/4 onion, sliced salt and pepper, to taste
Zucchini Noodles 4 yellow and green zucchini 1 tablespoon olive oil salt and pepper 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
Directions
Cut ends off the zucchini and put through a spiralizer or use a vegetable peeler so you get long spaghetti-like strands. Set aside.
Put garlic, basil, pine nuts and olive oil in food processor, and process; add salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook sausage until browned, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, tomatoes and onions to sausage in skillet. Stir until combined, creating almost a stew. Once vegetables are cooked through, add beans, salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat another large skillet and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add zucchini noodles, stirring occasionally. Saute until zucchini is slightly softened, about 6 minutes. Add pesto to zucchini and stir until noodles are evenly coated. Add parmesan cheese to zucchini along with a touch of salt, if desired. Remove from heat.
Put noodles in large serving dish and top with vegetable mixture (use slotted spoon to drain liquid from topping mixture when serving). Give it a toss, and top with more parmesan cheese, if desired.
