Zucchini Pasta with Pesto Sauce and Butternut squash Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey
1 yellow onion, superfine dice
3/4 cup of pesto sauce
4 Medium zucchini
16 oz. of butternut squash cut into chunks
olive oil
1 tsp. dried Thyme
2 tsp. rosemary, fresh and chopped

Directions:

Slice the ends off of the zucchini and place in a vegetable spirializer to cut it into a pasta shape. Take kitchen shears and cut the long strands of zucchini into a reasonable length (10 inches long).

Cook the squash in a steamer until it is fork tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove it to a bowl to keep warm.

In a large frying pan, add 2 tsp. of olive oil to the pan over medium high heat and add the ground turkey, salt, pepper, Thyme and Rosemary. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink. Pour the cooked turkey into a bow and set a side and keep warm.

In this same pan, add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and the onion over medium low heat. Saute for a good 10 minutes or until the onions have reduced and are a golden brown.

Once the onion are done, add another Tbsp. of olive oil and add the zucchini and saut this until the zucchini is slightly softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. You want the zucchini to be el dente and not mushy.

Once the zucchini is el dente, add the pesto sauce and toss to combine. Then add the ground turkey and stir to coat. Lastly add the butternut squash and toss gently.

Serve and enjoy!
