Taste of Italia!

Zucchini Pasta Marinara, Sauteed Broccolini and Green Trio Salad with Toasted Almonds Lemon and Balsamic Dressing

Here we have a super simple, super classic, Italian inspired meal. The catch: it's Gluten and Carb free! That's right, Zucchini pasta has wowed us yet again. The vitamin rich vegetable can also offer dietary fiber if you keep the skin on (which I always do). Mandolin 1-2 small to medium sized zucchinis and toss with your favorite version of marinara. Only needs 3-4  minutes of heat to get the right consistency! I like to beef my marinara up with mushrooms and other veggies!  I did a quick saute with the broccolini, squeezed some lemon juice and cracked black pepper then finished it off with some toasted slivered almonds. The trio salad is a combination of Kale, Spinach, and Swiss Chard. Be warned, this lettuce blend is quite hearty and therefore needs a flavorful dressing to hold up to it! I did a simple blend of lemon juice, garlic, red chili flakes, olive oil (emulsified) and then drizzled with a touch of balsamic reduction! Mama mia this meal  is molto bene!
