De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Prepare the pesto by combining the fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor.
Ongeveer 3 min
Tip van de kok: Toasting the pine nuts beforehand enhances their flavor.
2
Process the pesto mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Add a tablespoon of water if you prefer a thinner pesto.
3
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Ongeveer 1 min
4
Add the zucchini noodles to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly tender but still have a bite.
Ongeveer 3 min
Tip van de kok: Avoid overcooking the zucchini noodles, as they can become watery and mushy.
5
Remove the pan from the heat and toss the cooked zucchini noodles with the prepared pesto.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Tossing off the heat prevents the pesto from losing its vibrant color and fresh flavor.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
7
Serve immediately, garnished with halved cherry tomatoes if desired.
