Total time: 
Serves: 3-4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 2 large zucchini (or 3 medium sizes)
  • 1 cup sliced cherry or grape tomatoes
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers (I used the kind in a jar)
  • 1 batch of my fresh basil pesto recipe (below):
  • ½ cup soaked cashews (8 hour cold soak is best or 15 boiled)
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 cups packed basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Combine basil pesto ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Create zucchini noodles using a noodler or if you do not have one, using a potato peeler to create ribbons will work well too.
  3. Add basil pesto, tomatoes, and peppers to zoodles.
  4. Toss well to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper. I needed more salt but not more pepper. Salt really makes a different in this dish so add slowly until you reach the right flavor for you!
  5. I enjoyed these noodles cold but I'm sure they would be good warm too.
