Instructions

PESTO INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put all ingredients into the food processor and process on high gradually adding in olive oil till the mixture runs smooth.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust to your taste!

ZOODLES INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a pan add olive oil and olive and garlic.
  • Sauté until fragrant ( takes NO TIME), add shiitakes and let sit for 1 minute.
  • Add asparagus and sugar snaps and toss everything together until veggies start to wilt. Add a splash of more olive oil if necessary and season to taste. I added the tomatoes at the very end to just soften. Set aside.
  • With your spiralizer firmly attached to the countertop, start spiralling. Watch that your noodles don't become too long. Break them off so they are about as long as spaghetti noodles.
  • Once done add in your pesto to coat noodles and add in the veggie mixture. You can add a sprinkling of nooch (nutritional yeast) on top for a cheesy flavour or whip up a batch of vegan parmesan.
