12% OffIngredients:
- 4 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1/2 cup of homemade or store-bought gluten-free pesto
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup of pine nuts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:
- Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis.
- Use a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles. If you don’t have either, you can also use a sharp knife to thinly slice the zucchini into noodle-like strips.
- Blanch the Zucchini Noodles (Optional):
- If you prefer your zucchini noodles to be slightly cooked, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Drop the zucchini noodles into the boiling water for about 1-2 minutes, then immediately drain and rinse them under cold water. This step is optional; you can also use the zucchini noodles raw.
- Toss with Pesto:
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the gluten-free pesto until they are evenly coated.
- Add Cherry Tomatoes and Pine Nuts:
- Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and pine nuts. They add a lovely contrast of flavors and textures.
- Season:
- Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed. Keep in mind that pesto can be quite flavorful, so adjust to your preference.
- Serve:
- Divide the zucchini noodle mixture onto serving plates or a platter.
- If desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and additional pine nuts.
- Enjoy your Zucchini Noodles with Pesto!
- This gluten-free dish is a fresh and flavorful alternative to traditional pasta. It’s perfect for a light and nutritious meal.
