Zucchini Noodles

• 4 zucchinis, spiralized into thin noodles (or 28 oz. from the store)
• 1 bunch broccolini, cut into small portions
• 2 green peppers, diced small
• 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 sweet onion, diced small
• 4 roma tomatoes, diced small
• 4 cloves garlic, diced fine
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp. crushed red pepper
• 1 tbsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 c. parmesan cheese, grated
• salt and pepper

Rockfish (or any white fish)

• 4 6 oz. fillets rockfish
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• salt and pepper

1. Begin by making the primavera sauce.  Add the 1/4 c. olive, crushed red pepper, dried oregano, garlic, and onions to a sauce pan on medium heat.  Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the onions and garlic are soft.  Add everything else to the pan minus the zucchini noodles.
2. Cook all of the sauce ingredients for about 8 minutes or until the vegetables are almost cooked through.  Turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
3. Once the sauce is done simmering, add the zucchini noodles and cook in the sauce for about 6 minutes.  Don't forget to add salt and pepper throughout the cooking process!  When the "noodles" are cooked through, add the parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce coats all of the noodles.
4. Heat a clean pan on high with 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil gets hot, add the fish and cook on both sides for about 4 minutes or until each side is golden.
5. Toss the "noodles" and put on a plate with the fish on top for beautiful presentation!

Me Cuisine Tips

• The cheese isn't neccessary, but it is a good way to tie the whole sauce together!
• Primavera is essentially an Italian vegetable sauce.  Add other combinations of veggies for different flavor profiles.
  
• The sauce will work well with normal noodles as well, I have just been trying to eat a little healthier.
  
• Any white fish works, but rockfish is meaty and juicy.
