Serves 2
What You Need:
For the pasta:
5 small zucchini
For the sauce:
¼ cup walnuts
½ cup raw basil leaves
¼ cup hemp seeds
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large clove garlic
What You Do:
1. For the pasta, using a spiral slicing tool, spiralize zucchini into noodles. If you do not have a spiralizing tool, peel zucchini with potato peeler, rotating as you peel for flat, uniform noodles. Place noodles in colander, and set aside.
2. For the sauce, into a blender, place all ingredients and blend until a thick sauce is achieved. Toss noodles with sauce until coated and serve.
