Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto with Zucchini Pasta


Here is another family friendly, healthy, raw, living dish that I believe you will love, and it takes less than a half an hour to make. You can make this right after work and it doesn't take much time away from you and your family. It's simple and quick enough to make it if you have little ones running around, like I do.

The sun-dried tomatoes give the sauce a very deep flavor and make the garlic taste as if they were roasted, which my husband loves.

Sun-dried Tomato "Pesto" with Zucchini "Pasta"

2 large zucchinis
2.5 cups sun-dried tomatoes chopped and soaked
1 small tomato
3 cloves garlic
1 cup oil
1 cup pine nuts
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp lemon juice

Soak sun-dried tomatoes in water for 30 minutes. Drain and place in food processor with the tomato, garlic, pine nuts, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and oil. Process ingredients until smooth.

Slice zucchinis with julienne slicer and mix with sauce. You may also use a zucchini noodle maker, whichever you prefer. This makes about 4 servings.
