A refreshing and healthy dish featuring zucchini noodles tossed in a creamy herb pesto, perfect for a light meal.
Use a spiralizer to create noodles from the zucchini, then place them in a mixing bowl.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create ribbon-like noodles.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the zucchini noodles.
Choose ripe and sweet cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
In a blender, combine the pine nuts, basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Toast the pine nuts beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor.
Toss the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes with the pesto until evenly coated.
Add the pesto gradually to avoid overdressing the noodles.
Serve the dish on plates, garnished with additional pine nuts and basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
