Hello everybody, it is Brad, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a distinctive dish, zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce is one of the most favored of recent trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce is something which I have loved my whole life.
Try your sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. So like I said, zucchini noodles are a great healthy option for a noodle substitute here, but the point of this recipe is the sauce. You can put it over zucchini noodles or you can put it over regular pasta.
To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce:
- Make ready 1 Zucchini
- Prepare 1/2 red tomato chopped
- Get 1 dash garlic powder
- Get 1/3 avocado
- Prepare 1 dash salt and pepper
- Get 3 tbsp pesto sauce (I love bellino's brand)
- Get 1 squeeze lemon juice
For best results, use a good quality ricotta cheese and small, firm zucchini. But of course, no good zucchini pasta is complete without a great sauce. I wanted something creamy without, well, the cream. And this perfect avocado pesto sauce is just that: part creamy, part tasty, mostly healthy.
Instructions to make Zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce:
- Spiralize your zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer you can use a peeler and just have thicker noodles
- Put in a large mixing bowl and add chopped tomatoes, seasonings, lemon juice and pesto sauce. Dont stir in yet!
- I like to mix ingredients in with my hands to cover all the noodles. When I add the avocado I smoosh it in my hand first to make it into a thick cream. Mix everything together.
- Zucchini noodles are meant to be eaten raw, however, I do not like cold pasta. Just quickly heat in a pan on the stove for about a minute for a nice hot meal
- Enjoy!
Notes 'Noodle' variations: Change it up by sprializing zucchini, yellow summer squash, butternut squash, beets, carrots, cucumber or sweet potato. Raw Pesto: To make the zucchini pesto fully raw, simply skip steaming it. But do note that steaming zucchini softens it which helps it process easier. Plus, it doesn't change the nutritional profile very much with such a short steam. Instead of pasta, sometimes we serve this creamy pesto sauce over zucchini noodles (or zoodles for short).
