Rustic Chorizo, Artichoke, Tomato & Basil Zucchini Pasta

 This recipe was inspired by tomato season.  I wanted a nice light and flavourful pasta dinner.  I love the spice of the chorizo sausage, creamy artichokes and freshness of the tomato and basil!

Rustic Chorizo, Artichoke, Tomato & Basil Zucchini Pasta:
Ingredients:
- 3 medium zucchinis
- 1 small jar artichokes
- 3 small tomatoes
- 4 chorizo sausages
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- handful of fresh basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese (to garnish)

Fresh tomato's from my garden!

Step #1 Grill or fry chorizo sausage.  Set aside and when they are cool enough slice or chop depending on personal preference.

Step #2 Use veggie spiral machine to make zucchini noodles.  Set aside



Step #3 Dice tomatoes, chop basil and drain artichokes

Step #4
Heat olive oil on medium/high heat and add garlic. After a minute add zucchini noodles for approx. 5 minutes  I like to use bear claw salad servers to toss zucchini  noodles to flash fry them.  I like to heat mine for approximately 5-7 minutes until lightly cooked. 

Step#5
Turn off the pan that is cooking the zucchini and add all the ingredients (chorizo, tomatoes, artichokes and basil)  Toss on medium/high heat until warm.

Step #6
Serve pasta in a rustic dish.  Garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan
