I have been putting off making this recipe out of fear. As I've mentioned before I have a love hate with spaghetti squash. Some people think it's just like spaghetti noodles...I do not. So when I saw that I could use zucchini as a noodle, I was leery. But I finally gave in and gave it a try. I'm glad I did...I loved it. I've eaten a form of zucchini noodles twice now.
This recipe was supposed to be served with chicken as well, but I wanted to eat this more like a pasta with just a pesto. This is a recipe worth trying.
Disclaimer...I do not (yet) own a veggie noodle maker so I just thew this in my food processor. :)
I also did not make 5 cups worth of zucchini noodles...so adapt the amounts as needed.
5 c zucchini noodles
pinch of salt
1 tbsp olive oil
For Pesto:
1 large bunch of fresh basil leaves
1/2 clove garlic
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 c hemp seeds
Place zucchini noodles in a large strainer in the sink and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
To make pesto: place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add zucchini noodles and sautee for 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat, add pesto and stir to combine.
