Lemon Oregano Zoodle Pasta with Cauliflower
Can someone please explain to me why I LOVE pickles and capers, but literally can’t stand olives? It confounds me and doesn’t make any sense.
Anyway, this recipe comes from the best cookbook I’ve ever purchased: Eat Happy by Anna Vocino. Every recipe I’ve made from this cookbook (like these so easy and delicious turkey burgers that it doesn’t seem right?) has been incredibly tasty, and I highly, highly, highly recommend buying yourself a copy for keeps. This light and delicious zoodle dish can be eaten as an entrée or a side dish (I paired it with those t.burgers, and it was perfect).
