Easy and Delicious. The perfect garden fresh summer dish.

Ingredients

  • PESTO SAUCE:
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 2 packed cup of organic basil
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 small garlic cloves minced
  • My Sage Gourmet Tuscan Herb Seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • My Sage Gourmet Tuscan Herb Seasoning and freshly ground black pepper- to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 basil leaves, cut chiffonade style (in thin ribbons)

Instructions

PESTO

  1. Place all of the pesto ingredients into a food processor and pulse until creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

ZUCCHINI NOODLES (We use a spiral slicer for these. See NOTES below .)

  1. In a big bowl, combine zucchini noodles and pesto sauce. Using hands or rubber spatula, Gently combine until noodles are well coated.
  2. Strain off excess liquid then place zucchini noodles on four small plates, followed by one tomato slice, one slice of mozzarella and a light drizzle of olive oil/balsamic vinegar mixture
  3. Add a pinch My Sage Gourmet Tuscan Herb Seasoning and freshly ground black pepper. Top with basil, evenly distributed.

Notes

Zuke Tips to consider-
Don’t peel your zucchini before spiraling. When you peel the zucchini, moisture leaches out, causing it to become mushy. Keeping the skin also retains nutrients in the skin!
Don’t pre-salt or salt your zucchini once in the pan salting renders the zucchini lifeless and salty.
Don’t overcook. The longer zucchini cooks, the more moisture sneaks out and becomes mushy. A little crunch retains the fresh tasting flavor.

We recommend the VEGETTI SPIRAL SLICER
