Simple Raw Pasta with Pesto

May 10, 2014 by Barbara Dolan Leave a Comment

My lunch today was super simple and super delicious!

Simple Pasta with Pesto
I decided on raw pasta with pesto.  Very few ingredients are needed and this can be made in 10 minutes!  So simple!  So delicious! So healthy!  I like it!
Gluten-free?  Yes indeed!

Ingredients:

Choose organic wherever possible.

For the pesto:
2 cloves Garlic or more to taste or none
1 bunch Cilantro
½ cup Hemp seeds
½ Lemon, squeezed
½ tsp Sea salt
Water as needed
Olive oil as desired

1 zucchini (courgette)
Handful of grape tomatoes, sliced
Several raw olives

Procedure:

In a food processor, buzz the garlic into small pieces

  • Add cilantro, lemon and sea salt; buzz into small pieces
  • Add water and olive oil to desired consistency
  • Use a special tool to turn the zucchini into pasta (a spiralizer is a great tool-easy to find online- I bought a spirelli ) or use your potato peeler or julienne slicer to make thin slices and then cut those into strips.
  • Toss the zucchini with your desired amount of pesto, add the grape tomatoes and the olives.

Adventurous Variations:
-use parsley or basil instead of cilantro
-use soaked pumpkin seeds instead of hemp
-zucchini can easily be replaced with yams or carrots
-toss with other vegetables that you like, such as spinach, red onion, small pieces of broccoli, etc.
