Dinner: Pesto Zoodles
- Prep Time:5 mins
- Cook Time:10 mins
- Total Time:15 mins
- Servings:2
- Easy
- 2 large zucchinis
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- Handful kale leaves
- 1/3 cup cauliflower
- 1/4 cup Parmesan
- 1/4 an avocado
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional tomatoes and chicken broth
Ingredients
-
Step 1
Grab a blender, and throw in 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, basil, kale, cauliflower, pine nuts, parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, avocado. That's basically everything besides the zucchini, and saving a little bit of olive oil!
-
Step 2
Then, to blend it together, it may need a splash of water OR I sometimes like to use a bit chicken broth if I have it to make sure the sauce is smooth. Instead of using cream or milk, we're using cauliflower and avocado to make this pesto sauce very creamy.
-
Step 3
Clean zucchinis.
-
Step 4
Using a spiralizer, make the zucchinis into ZOODLES! If you don't have this little noodle-izer, don't worry! You can still make this, and just slice your zucchinis into thin long strips, like linguini!
-
Step 5
In a saucepan on medium heat, put the rest of your olive oil in the pan.
-
Step 6
Cook the zucchini for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft.
-
Step 7
Throw in the sauce and toss in the pan!
-
Step 8
Add a touch more salt and pepper to taste, and cook until pesto sauce gets hot.
