Zoodles With Cilantro Pesto
- 2 zucchini large, trimmed
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup fresh cilantro packed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil extra-, divided
- Following the directions that come with your spiralizer, create your zoodles. Cut any that may be especially long.
- Lay paper towels on a cookie sheet and spread the zoodles on the paper towels. Sprinkle them with 1/4 tsp sea salt. This will draw the liquid out of the "noodles". Let them sit and sweat for about 30 to 45 minutes so the water draws out,
- Squeeze out excess moisture and place them on a clean set of paper towels.
- In a food processor, pulse cilantro, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. While the machine is running, add 1 TBL olive oil.
- In a skillet, add 1 TBL extra virgin olive oil. Let it heat up. Add zoodles, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove from heat; toss with pesto.
