Zucchini Noodles with Minced Meat & Mushrooms

I've wanted to try this for a long time. About a year ago I tried Zucchini pasta for the first time and I liked it a lot! 

I don't know why I didn't try out this recipe myself, because its so simple and it takes almost no time!

Besides the minced meat and the mushrooms, I made some home-made pesto go with it.

Ingredients (2 servings):

- 1 big Zucchini

- Mixed mushrooms (200g)

- 1 onion

- Minced meat (250g)

- Coconut oil (1 tbs)

- Green pesto (150g -home-made or bought)

• Peel the onion, cut in half and slice rings
• Cut the mushrooms in pieces 
• Cut the zucchini in long, thin strings with a spiral slicer
• Heat the coconut oil in a big pan and cook the onion until it's soft and glazy
• Add the minced meat and stir well
• Add the mushroom and stir until everything is cooked
• Add the pesto and zucchini and cook for another 1-2 minutes while stirring
• Add pepper and salt to your liking 

Enjoy!
