Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ an onion thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic grated or minced
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped kale leaves
- ½ cup grape tomatoes halved
- Salt to taste
- 2 medium zucchini spiralized or julienned with a vegetable peeler
- ¼ cup goat cheese plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion to skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes or until it starts softening and becoming translucent. Add garlic and stir, cooking for another minute or so.
- Add kale, tomatoes and salt. Cook until the kale has wilted down and the tomatoes shrivel a bit.
- Add spiralized zucchini to the pan and cook until the zucchini begins to release some of its liquid and soften.
- Remove the skillet from the burner and add the goat cheese, tossing to coat all of the zucchini noodles. It should melt down and create a light "sauce."
- Sprinkle pine nuts over top and sprinkle with extra goat cheese if desired. Serve immediately.*
