Zucchini Pasta with Basil Pumpkin Seed Pesto

This RAW dish is so DELICIOUS!  It is also so simple to make and can be done in 10 minutes or less!

  • 4 - 6 Zucchini 
  • 1 Cup Hemp Hearts

Basil Pumpkin Seed Pesto

  • 1 Cup of Fresh Basil
  • 4 Cups of Spinach
  • 1 Cup of Pumpkin Seeds
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tsp of Himalayan Salt (or to taste)

Spiralize the Zucchini into noodles.  If you don't have one then use a peeler and make long slices.  Simply combine all ingredients for the pesto into a blender or food processor and process to desired consistency.   I prefer my pesto with a bit of texture.  Then, just add to the Zucchini and toss together.  Sprinkle with hemp hearts and you are done!  5 Star cuisine in a snap!  This dish also pairs well with vino!  

Serves 4 - 6
