CREAMY ZUCCHINI PESTO WITH ‘NOODLES’

Ingredients

  • Ingredients Scale 1x2x3x ‘Noodles’ 2 zucchini (1 per person), cucumber would be good too Pesto (serves two) 2 small zucchini or one large 2 cups fresh basil 2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons tahini 1/2 teaspoon himalayan salt, or to taste

Preparation

  • Instructions Noodles: Use a spiralizer to create the ‘noodle’ effect, or you can julienne them. Both ways are great but I do highly recommend the spiralizer if you intend on making raw ‘noodles’ often. It’s really fun and easy to use. Pesto: Cut zucchini into 1-inch chunks. Steam chunks over boiling water for about 3 minutes, or until just tender when pierced with a sharp knife. I kept mine a little stiff, I wanted this to be as raw as possible. Place all ingredients in food processor/blender and process until finely chopped. Serve: Mix your ‘noodles’ with the pesto and serve with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of almond parmesan.
