Recipe sharing!

My sister asked me for this recipe today so I thought I would just share it on here. I actully got it from my Mother in Law and thought it was yummy so here it is for you alll. I didn't take this picture but it's from a very similar recipe I found and looked enough like it to work. :)

Fusilli with Zucchini Ribbons

2 C. low sodium vegetable broth

2 C. water

3 C. whole wheat fusilli

2 small/Med zucchini, trimmed

1 carrot, trimmed

3 Tbsp. pesto

1/2 C walnuts or pine nuts, toasted and chopped (if using pine nuts, don't chop)

2-3 Tbsp grated Parmesan

Grated zest of 1 lemon (this adds a lot of flavor so don't skip it)

salt and pepper

In 12 inch saute pan, bring broth and water to rapid boil. Add pasta and cook on high for 1 minute less than suggested time. Make zucchini and carrot ribbons using a peeler and set aside. When pasta is almost done, add zucchini and carrot; cook for 30 seconds. Drain off most unabsorbed water, leaving 1/2 cup liquid in the pan. Turn off heat. Stir in pesto, walnuts, cheese and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with more cheese.

I think adding chicken would taste good too, but I haven't tried it yet. :)

Enjoy!!
