Green Noodles

Since going Paleo, I've been on the lookout to replace my favorite but forbidden carbs. I've missed noodles so much that I decided I must find a substitution or failure would be eminent. I did it! These noodles are so yummy, you will gobble them up without missing the conventional starchy ones...

Ingredients:
3-4 zucchini, peeled with a vegetable peeler, then the remaining core chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
1 pack of mushrooms, sliced
12 green olives, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 oz fresh basil, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted

Directions:
In a large pan, heat olive oil on medium. Toss in the mushrooms and let cook while you mince the garlic and jalapeño. When ready, add the jalapeño and garlic and let cook while you peel the zucchini. Toss in the zucchini and add a sprinkle of salt a pepper to taste. Let simmer while you chop up the olives and basil. Add the olives and basil and top with the fresh squeezed lemon juice and let simmer a minute, then toss in the pine nuts, remove from heat and serve. Mmmmm....noodle-y!
