Zucchini noodles sauteed with onion, garlic, pine nuts, and fresh basil for a light fresh lunch.

pine nut, zoodles, zucchini, basil

This is such a perfect summer lunch. Not only is it light and fresh, but it is also good for you. Sadly, I did not even try to get my kids to eat this, not only did I not think they would, but I also did not want to share. At all.  It is fast and easy. It is like a pesto pasta without the work of making a pesto. But you still get all that yummy pesto flavor. Yummy!

I realize not everyone has a Spiralizer, although I think that is a shame because it is my favorite kitchen tool in the summer. But you can still make this yummy meal. You can use a julienne slicer or peeler to get noodles or ribbons from your zucchini. You can use a mandolin slicer to get ribbons. You can chop matchsticks by hand. There are a lot of ways to achieve the same idea. Or just chop it into thin slices. It won’t be noodles, but it will still taste great.

I loved the sweetness of the pinenuts, the added flavor gained by salting (with garlic salt), and the fact that both the basil and zucchini came out of my garden! Yay. And did you notice it comes together in under 15 minutes? How perfect is that for a quick lunch?

    Your pictures are AMAZING. I substitute almonds for the pine nuts. They are less expensive and usually in my pantry.
