Zucchini Pasta

I've been in a sort of cooking funk. I blame the heat. Nothing sounds good. It's hot. Cooking sounds miserable. Jamba juice sounds palatable.

But Brian's post yesterday had me inspired. It sounded yummy!

So I took some zucchini, used the mandoline, and sliced the zucchini into "spaghetti noodles".

Then, I made the pasta salad with some left over chicken... Except I didn't have tomatoes, Italian dressing, olives.... Okay, okay. I had zucchini spaghetti with shredded chicken. At least Elle liked it :)

Ingredients:
Zucchini- 3 was enough for Elle and I (sliced with a Julian blade on the mandolin)
Veggies - tomatoes, broccoli, mushroom, onion, or whatever your heart desires
Shredded chicken
Sauce

Method:
Sauté zucchini in 1-2 Tablepoons of Olive Oil
Season with garlic, onion, salt, and pepper to taste
Add shredded chicken
Continue sauté until zucchini has reached desired tenderness (mine took about 3 min).
Add veggies (I like to add sautéed mushrooms and onions)

I didn't add any sauce or dressing. I love the purity of the olive oil with the salt and pepper. But if Elle wasn't allergic to dairy, I'd top it with Alfredo sauce in a heartbeat :)
