Recipe

Italian pasta is hard to resist, but its carb content is a turn-off. Zucchini 'noodles' are the perfect substitute. Paired with fresh pesto made quickly using the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, this dish will be a star recipe in your low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients:

- 2 medium zucchinis

- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves

- 1 garlic clove

- 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts

- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- Salt and black pepper (to taste)

- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions:

1.Make and Prep Zoodles:

Use the food chopper to shred the zucchinis into noodle-like strands. Key Step: Place the zucchini strands into the rotary spin basket, secure the lid, and spin the crank quickly for 30 seconds to remove excess moisture. This prevents the final dish from being watery and makes the texture closer to real pasta.

2.Grind Pesto Dry Ingredients:

Attach the cross chopping blade to the container. Add garlic, pine nuts (or walnuts), and Parmesan cheese. Secure the lid and spin the crank for 15 seconds to grind into coarse crumbs.

3.Chop and Blend Herbs:

Open the lid, add fresh basil leaves. Secure again and spin quickly until the basil is chopped and mixed with the powder—resulting in a rough, moist green paste.

4.Emulsify to Finish the Pesto:

Remove the chopping blade and replace it with the mixing paddle. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the container. Secure the lid and spin the crank at a steady speed. The mixing paddle will slowly and evenly emulsify the oil into the herb-nut mixture, creating a smooth, aromatic pesto sauce.

5.Combine and Serve:

In a large bowl, gently toss the prepped zucchini noodles, halved cherry tomatoes, and a generous amount of homemade pesto. Serve cold, or heat in a pan over the lowest heat for 30 seconds (do not overcook). Enjoy this low-carb Mediterranean delight immediately.
