To start making this recipe, get the easiest part out of the way. Use a vegetable peeler to slice the zucchini into thin ribbons. Zucchini ribbons make a beautiful “pasta” base for the spicy skillet mixture. You can choose to serve the zucchini ribbons one of two different ways. One option is to serve it…
To make the pesto, red peppers are first blackened under the broiler. Don’t be afraid to let the skins get completely black, because then they will be easier to peel off. Once the peppers come out of the oven they are steamed for ten minutes to loosen the skin, and then it should peel right…
Since gnocchi is still a bit heavy on starch and takes time to make, this recipe has been added to my list of special treats rather than regular dinners.

It’s about finding creative ways to use the foods that are allowed to re-create the foods you enjoy that aren’t allowed.
