description
The zucchini spaghetti is certainly not our pasta we always eat, however they are a great way to add some vegetables to our dishes and to end the day with a light meal.
preparation
step 1
To prepare the zucchini spaghetti, use a spiralizer, a mandolin or finely chop with the help of a peeler to create zucchini noodles. Put them aside on kitchen paper so that the excess liquid absorbs.
step 2
To prepare the pesto, in a food processor, mince the rocket, the basil and the walnuts until obtaining a homogeneous consistency. Add the avocado, lemon juice and salt and chop again until a thick paste is obtained.
step 3
Set the food processor on a low speed and slowly pour the olive oil until you get a creamy and homogeneous consistency.
step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the zucchini spaghetti and bake for another 1-2 minutes or until the two vegetables have softened, stirring occasionally. Remove from the fire.
step 5
Season the zucchini spaghetti and the hot tomatoes with the pesto, salt and pepper and mix everything gently. To serve, pour the spaghetti into a deep dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
