Zesty Zucchini Noodles With Green Tea Pesto
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon(s) Gustus Vitae's Green Tea Sea Salt
- 2 Large Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon(s) Gustus Vitae's Garlic Pepper Rub
- 1 Lime
- 1 tablespoon(s) Olive Oil
- 4 ounce(s) Pesto
- Sprigs of Fresh Basil, For Garnish
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini and slice off tops and bottoms. Using your veggie peeler, slice length-wise, cutting wide and to the depth you'd like the zoodles to be.
- As needed, slice the zoodles length-wise to create your noodles.
- Dice cherry tomatoes into halves, and reserve.
- Drizzle olive oil into a medium-to-large pan, and heat to medium.
- Add in zoodles, and sprinkle in Green Tea Sea Salt and Garlic Pepper Rub. The salt will wick out some of the moisture, giving you a springier, more delicious noodle base. Cook on medium for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Place the cherry tomatoes cut side down, and add in pest. Give it a good stir, and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Remove and plate. The best way to do this is with tongs - you'll leave excess oil in the pan, and will have more control on plating.
- Tear off some basil leaves, squeeze on some lime, and serve.
