Okay, so here’s a solid recipe to a favorite dish of mine – spicy Italian sausage, veggie (in this case zucchini, or eggplant that I love, and all sorts of cheese).
As you well know, I am always searching for variations to the simplest of ingredients making up a fun recipe and this one works – because in my household, we are divided – 1 Keto (me) and the rest not so much. So, this is what I do to make two dishes out of one recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground spicy Italian sausage
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 4 medium heirloom tomatoes (or regular), roughly chopped
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine (cut out for hardcore Keto followers)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped, plus more for serving
- 6-8 no boil lasagna noodles (replace with sliced Halloumi cheese or just cut out the noodles altogether)
- 3 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8 inch slices
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, torn
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese {more}
