What you’ll need

Let’s begin.
- Start by spiralizing your zucchini into noodles, if you bought the noodles prepped already then skip this step.
- Toss your zucchini noodles in the 2 Tbsp salt in a bowl and let sit for half an hour to let the moisture out. (Don’t worry about the salt, your going to rinse it out after a while.)
- While your zucchini is sitting in salt, start making your pesto. Combine the rest of the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend everything up until smooth, you might need to add more olive oil depending on your desired thickness.
- After Half an hour passes, put your zucchini noodles into a colander and rinse the noodles until as much of the salt is gone.
- Now that everything is done, put the zucchini noodles on a plate and put the sauce on top. You can sprinkle extra nutritional yeast on top if you would like, and it’s ready to eat. Enjoy.
Tips:
- If your vegan you can have this with some mushroom “meatballs”
- If you just want a low carb side this would be perfect with actual meatballs or chicken cutlets
- you can make the pesto in advance in bulk if you want to add it to other dishes like crustini and mozzarella.
