Description
Eating something delicious is even better when you're like, "Um, how is this all vegetables?"
Ingredient
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 cups kale
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dried basil
- Dried oregano
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Direction
1. Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, turn the zucchini into noodles. Set aside in a colander to drain any excess water.
2. In a food processor, add the kale, garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined.
3. Slowly pour in the olive oil while continuing to pulse until a smooth pesto is formed. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil.
4. Season the pesto with dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly softened.
6. Add the kale pesto to the pan with the zucchini noodles and toss to coat the noodles evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pesto is heated through.
7. Serve the zucchini noodles with kale pesto in bowls and top with additional parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish!
