Pesto Noodles with Beef and Olives - A Treat for The Gluten Free

Some members of the Family are temporarily removing Grains and Carbs from their diet to try and clear up small medical problem.
No worries for me...as, due to a good friend, I have access to Paleo Cookbooks

So last night we had this Pesto Pasta as they called it...I say noodles because it is not Pasta as we know it
Nevertheless it is delicious
I have this fab little tool that I purchased just so I can make vege noodles

Works wonders with courgettes

So this dish has these courgette noodles tossed with Pesto 

Then added to tasty Fried Mince, and Onions, seasoned with Olives and some Garlic powder
