This may not look pretty, but it is amazing and a new "fan favorite" in the house! It is quick and easy too so grab your Veggetti and have at it! You can't even tell you're eating veggies instead of actual noodles! (seriously.)
- 3/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1 Garlic Clove, peeled
- 1/4 cup Pine Nuts
- 1 Tbsp. Parmesan or Romano Cheese
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Uncooked, Deveined Shrimp
- Shredded Chicken
- 1 Zucchini
- 1 Squash
- Veggetti or other spiraling machine
DIRECTIONS:
Chicken-
-If cooking the chicken yourself, prepare it however you prefer (I like to bake it covered in Italian dressing) and then shred it and set aside. **You can also use pre-made rotisserie chicken and just shred it.
Basil Pesto Sauce-
-Place basil leaves, pine nuts, peeled garlic clove, and grated cheese into food processor and blend together.
-Slowly add the olive oil in while still mixing.
-Add salt and pepper to taste.
-Set aside.
Zucchini & Squash Noodles-
-Use Veggetti, or other machine, accordingly or other spiraling machine and slice zucchini and squash.
-Saute the noodles in a pan with some olive oil for about 4-5 minutes, occasionally tossing.
Shrimp-
-Saute in a pan with some olive oil for only a few minutes on each side. Shrimp does not take very long to cook and you don't want to over cook them!
Add the chicken and shrimp to the noodles in the pan and then only add a little pesto sauce at a time, mixing it all together.
