Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Serves: 4-6
>> PESTO
1 cup diced zucchini
1 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup raw walnut halves
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp sea salt
> For the rest
4 to 6 large zucchini, Blade C or D
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Raw pine nuts, for garnish (optional)
Prepare the pesto: Combine all of the pesto ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier texture, instead use the pulse function on your blender or food processor to gently mix the ingredients together.
Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create "noodles" out of the peeled zucchini. For a warm dish, melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute the zucchini "noodles" and tomatoes until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add in the pesto and stir quickly, just enough to warm the sauce, about 1 minute. Serve warm, with a sprinkle of pine nuts. For a cold dish, simply toss the raw zucchini "noodles" with the prepared pesto and top with the tomatoes and pine nuts.
