Cucumber Pasta & Pesto.
This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite meals. I used my nifty little julienne peeler to make “spaghetti” out of a long, European cucumber.
It comes out so beautifully!
Besides cucumber, it also works wonders on zucchini to make spaghetti.
I made a quick pesto with walnuts and parsley. I ground some pink salt and pepper into my food processor with about a cup of each walnuts and parsley. As I processed, I streamed in olive oil, probably 5 tablespoons in total.
I know usually when you think of pesto you think basil, but it’s really easy to make it with any nuts and herbs. A classic pesto is basil, pignoli nuts and Parmesan. I didn’t have the pignolis and obviously wanted to make it vegan by omitting the cheese. Walnuts work well for pesto because of the high oil content. I even like adding kalamata olives or sundried tomatoes to my pesto as well. The olives give it such a nice flavor!
Easy lunch!
