So excited to report that I found yet another recipe that I can keep as is for the FAM, and also add my own twist to make it Keto-friendly for me. Here’s what I am thinking:
ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS
-
- 1 cup dry orzo pasta ***instead I will use ground chicken sausage – remove skin and saute with a touch of butter – or lots of butter – I usually use Ghee or Grass-fed
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup cubed feta cheese ***or Parmesan if you aren’t a fan of feta
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 zucchini or yellow summer squash, halved *** sticking to only green zucchini for the calorie count and carbs
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup basil pesto {MORE}
And because this variation is delicious, I am making it for the entire family rather than the orzo pasta option for them.
