Zucchini "Pasta" with Spinach and Sun Dried Tomatoes

We have not eaten pasta since before we became followers of Keto on January 3, so when I discovered that I could make "pasta" out of zucchini by using my mandolin slicer, this recipe was born.  My husband and I loved it and it made for an even better lunch of leftovers today.

Zucchini "Pasta" with Spinach and Sun Dried Tomatoes:

Ingredients:
3 zucchini, sliced into thin strips using the mandolin
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1 tbsp. capers
1/4 cup Feta cheese
1 tbsp. olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions:
After slicing the zucchini with the thinnest setting on the mandolin, place the zucchini, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large pot over medium high heat.  Saute until the zucchini begins to soften.  Add the spinach to the zucchini mixture, allowing it to wilt completely.  Add the sun dried tomatoes and capers to the pot, lowering the heat.  Once all ingredients are combined, remove from the heat and top with Feta cheese. 

We served this dish with Trader Joe's Basil Pesto Turkey Sausage and had enough leftovers for lunch today.  Delicious!
