This Paleo-friendly recipe is a delicious alternative to traditional pasta dishes, making it a great choice for those with food allergies. Zucchini noodles are a gluten-free and grain-free option that pairs perfectly with a dairy-free pesto sauce.
Ingredients: 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles. 1 cup fresh basil leaves. 1/2 cup pine nuts. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil. 1/2 cup nutritional yeast. Juice of 1 lemon. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved optional. Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional.
Instructions: In a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Pulse until well combined. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and saut for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender. Toss the zucchini noodles with the pesto sauce until well coated. If desired, add halved cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and color. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy your Paleo Zucchini Noodles with Pesto!
