Yummy Zucchini Pasta With Herbs and Chives




I just recently got a mandolin and I have to say I absolutely love it. I used the julienne blade to make this super delicious zucchini pasta. From start to finish, it literally took me 5 minutes. I have been stuck in a routine of just grilling zucchini and it started to get boring. This is a creative and delicious way to eat your veggies!


Here's what you'll need:

A mandolin equipped with a julienne blade

2 Medium-sized green zucchinis

1 Tsp of virgin coconut oil

3 Tbsp of chopped fresh chives

1/2 Tsp of dried Thyme

1 Tbsp of chopped fresh basil (or any other herb you enjoy)

1 Tsp garlic powder

Salt and Pepper to taste


Use the mandolin to slice the zucchini. In a frying pan, heat up the oil and add the zucchini. Then add the thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper. After 2 minutes, toss in the chives and basil and let cook for another minute. The less you cook it, the more "al dente" the zucchini will be. (I prefer it this way) 

Can be served as a main dish or a delicious side!

Yields: 4 servings as a side or 2 servings as a main.

Enjoy!!
