Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 small, diced zucchini
• 2 small, any color, diced bell peppers
• 8 oz, finely chopped mushrooms
• 2 cups, fresh, chopped spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon, dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon, dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and their moisture is mostly evaporated.

Step 6

Add in the chopped spinach leaves and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the tomato paste, oregano, and basil in the center. Stir the paste and herbs to allow them to combine and warm up for 1 minute.

Step 8

Mix everything together in the skillet so the vegetables are evenly coated with the tomato-herb mixture.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Allow the filling to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes over low heat to meld the flavors together.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a filling for your favorite low carb dishes or allow it to cool for later use.
