Zucchini Pesto : : Pasta

it was a hot summer day...

all i wanted was some fast, simple food that used lots of veggies and basil from the garden (mine and my mom in law's).

Zucchini Pesto Pasta is what i came up with.

I julienned up 2 big zucchini on my mandolin.

for the pesto i blended:

2 cloves of garlic

2 handfulls of basil

1 large zucchini

olive oil

salt

pepper

juice from 1 lemon

1 handfull of cashews

put the julienned zucchini in a large bowl.

add 1 package of cooked whole wheat pasta

pour pesto sauce over noodles and zucchini.

stir  and serve.  

this is good cold or warm and was a hit with the adults and the kids both!
