Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis

  • 1 large carrot

  • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 Tbsp. grated ginger

  • 2 Tbsp. white wine

  • ½ yellow onion, sliced thinly

  • ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • ¼ cup pre-made pesto sauce

  • 1 cup coconut milk

Directions

  • Using your Veggetti cutter, turn the zucchinis into narrow pasta strands. Heat or cook to your preferences.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet, then cook the garlic until it begins to brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Add the onion and ginger to the same still-hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion turns translucent.
  • Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they’re lightly brown. (They’re already cooked, so don’t keep them on the heat too long.)
  • Combine the pesto, wine, and coconut milk and pour over the chicken.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Serve the sauce over the “pasta” and top with the fried garlic, sliced almonds, and fresh, chopped basil.
