Zucchini Pasta with Cashew Basil Pesto

Health Highlights

Ingredients

2 large	Zucchini
2 cup	Basil, fresh
1/4 cup	Cashew nuts, raw
2 clove(s)	Garlic
1/4 cup	Nutritional yeast (or parmesan )
2 tbsp	Nutritional yeast (or parmesan )
1/4 cup	Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp	Lemon juice
1/3 tsp	Sea salt, fine
1/2 tsp	Black pepper
1 dash	Nutmeg, ground (pinch)
1/2 cup	Cherry Tomatoes (halved)

Chop about 1/2″ off both ends of the zucchini and spiralize. I recommend tearing the noodles into smaller pieces as you go, otherwise, you’ll end up with a “Lady and the Tramp” situation on your hands when you try to eat your pasta!
Once you’ve finished spiralizing, add zoodles and cherry tomatoes to a large bowl and mix in the pesto until well-coated. Enjoy!
