About the Recipe

This zucchini pesto is simply fresh and delightful. It is a perfect condiment for a risotto or a plate of pasta or accompanying a toasted slice of bread.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Sliced Tender Zucchini

  • 20 Basil Leaves

  • 1 Stick Green Celery

  • 5 Toasted Walnuts

  • 20 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 Tbs Parmigiano Reggiano (Optional)

  • 1 Tbs Pecorino Romano (Optional)

Preparation

  1. This zucchini pesto is simply fresh and delightful. It is a perfect condiment for a risotto or a plate of pasta or accompanying a toasted slice of bread.



  4. Toast the walnuts in a small pan for five/six minutes on low heat until you smell their scent.

  5. Clean the zucchini.

  6. Shred them and let the excess water drain.

  7. In a mixer, add the zucchini, the walnuts, basil, the extra virgin olive oil, and the cheese if you would like.

  8. Mix in "pulse" mode; this will prevent the oxidation of the ingredients.

  9. Take it out of the bowl.



Top your pasta or bruschetta, or mix it with your rice.


Enjoy!
