Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Walnut Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the walnuts, basil leaves, olive oil, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Veggies

    Chop the zucchini into small cubes. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat and add the zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegan Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the vegan Italian sausage and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes until browned.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sautéed zucchini and spinach to the skillet with the sausage. Stir in the olives and walnut pesto until everything is well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Vegan Mozzarella

    Top the mixture with vegan mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
