This is so easy to make and a good alternative to pasta if you are trying to eat more veggies. This time of year it's easy to get your hands on surplus squash. First, you need a spiralizer like the one shown below. It turns veggies like zucchini and squash into something that resembles pasta and you can eat it raw so you get more benefit from the veggie. Tonight I used yellow crookneck squash.
Just peel the squash and spiralize. Now for the pesto, take a cup of walnuts (you could also use pine nuts) and process in your food processor for a minute or so, then add 2-3 T extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, some fresh basil and some fresh parsley, sea salt, nutritional yeast and any other spices you like. I didn't put measurements because I just throw in whatever. Process until smooth but still a bit rough. Add pesto to squash and it's ready to eat!
