Makes: 3-4 servings
What You’ll Need
• 4 large, washed zucchinis
• 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2/3 cup raw walnuts
• 2 cups packed, fresh basil
• 2/3 cup parmesan
• 1 medium size garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon greek yogurt
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
To Make
Cut the ends off of the zucchini and spiralize each using either a spiralizer or julienne peeler. In a (very!) large pan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat on medium. Cook the zucchini for about 8 minutes, stirring often. While the zucchini is cooking, put the walnuts, basil, parmesan, garlic clove, greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt and the rest of the olive oil into a food processor and blend until desired consistency. In a large bowl, toss the zoodles with the pesto and top with the goat cheese.
Enjoy!
