Ingredients for Raw Angel Hair Zucchini Pasta With Fresh Pesto

How to Make Raw Angel Hair Zucchini Pasta With Fresh Pesto

  1. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly.
  2. Using a vegetable peeler, create long, thin zucchini noodles (try to make them as thin as possible to resemble angel hair pasta).
  3. In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently toss the zucchini noodles with the fresh pesto, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately and garnish with extra parmesan cheese, pine nuts, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick (optional).
  6. Enjoy this light, refreshing, and incredibly flavorful raw pasta dish!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
