Categories     Entree

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 small yellow onion, roughly chopped*
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves (arugula works, too)
1/2 cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds), toasted**
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, to taste (or lemon juice)
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
3 large zucchini
Salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes (Heather served her tomatoes whole; I halved mine vertically)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnishing

Steps:

  • To prepare the pesto: In a food processor, combine the onion (if using, see notes), garlic, basil, toasted pepitas, olive oil, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth and season with salt, to taste (I added about 1/2 teaspoon-if the mixture tastes overwhelmingly oniony, don't worry, it will mellow in a few minutes. I added another teaspoon of vinegar to help balance the flavors).
  • To prepare the noodles: Spiralize the zucchini with a spiralizer (here's how), or turn the zucchini into noodles with a julienne peeler, or grate the zucchini the long way on a large box grater. Toss the zucchini with pesto until well coated, and season with salt (I added another 1/4 teaspoon).
  • Transfer the pesto noodles to a large platter and sprinkle with the cherry tomatoes. Tuck the fresh basil in to the corners to garnish.

ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH BASIL PESTO AND BACON



Zucchini Noodles with Basil Pesto and Bacon image

There's no pasta in this dish, just fresh zucchini noodles tossed in a delicious bacon and pesto sauce.

Provided by Monica P.

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices turkey bacon
½ cup basil pesto (such as Classico® Traditional)
3 large zucchini, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 cup fresh arugula
1 pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lay bacon slices on a large baking tray.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until crispy, 9 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate lined with absorbent kitchen paper and allow to cool and harden.
  • Crumble the cooled bacon into smaller pieces and combine with pesto sauce.
  • Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to cut zucchini into noodles, snipping midway to prevent them from getting too long.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add zucchini and garlic and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pesto-bacon mixture and heat for 2 minutes longer. Toss well so the noodles are evenly coated. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Top with freshly grated Parmiggiano-Reggiano cheese so it can melt while the dish is still warm. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Top with arugula, but do not mix it in. Serve immediately.

  • Meanwhile, place basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. Process until almost smooth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in one layer; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of the pesto.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the drained zucchini noodles and toss gently until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the chicken. Add the remaining pesto and toss gently to coat.
