Raw Zucchini Linguini With Hempseed Pesto
This pesto is delicious paired with brown rice pasta, buckwheat noodles, a vegetable dip, toast, pizza, etc. It's especially good with zucchini noodles (zoodles) for a jazzed up bowl of veggies. Zucchini has a fairly neutral taste, so when spiralized it tastes like pasta! You can either eat it raw or lightly sautée it in coconut oil. It's such a fun way to incorporate more vegetables. This pesto is made with hemp seeds, providing a huge dose of complete protein and omega 3s and 6s, and essential fats.
Serves 3
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 1 1/2 cup basil
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp EVOO
- Dash of Himalayan salt
- Dash of ground pepper
First blend the seeds until they form a powder. Then add the basil and spinach and blend thoroughly. Next add the garlic, lemon juice, and salt/pepper. Add the water in a steady steam while it's blending. Lastly add the EVOO. Enjoy!
