Easy Zucchini Pasta lunch today. Zucchini pesto +

Easy Zucchini Pasta lunch today. Zucchini pesto + sauteed zucchini mixed together to create a super creamy sauce. Kids approved!

FOR THE ZUCCHINI PESTO:
🌈 2 medium zucchini, finely grated and squeezed to remove the extra water
🌈 20 leaves fresh Italian basil
🌈 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
🌈 2 Tbsp pine nuts
🌈 4 Tbsp olive oil
🌈 pinch of salt

Place everything in a food processor and blend up until you will obtain a cream.
You will obtain more than the needed quantity for the pasta. Simply freeze the extra for future meals!
That's what I used today. A jar ready to be used in the freezer.

FOR THE SAUTEED ZUCCHINI:
🌈 3 medium zucchini, trimmed, chopped in small pieces
🌈 2 Tbsp olive oil
🌈 pinch of salt

In a skillet heat the olive and add the zucchini. Adjust with salt and cook at medium heat for 12min up until tender. Stir frequently.

In a large pot bring abundant water to boil. Add 1 Tbsp of sea salt and cook the pasta following the directions on the packaging. Reserve 1 cup of starchy boiling water to thin the sauce later.
Prepare the pesto. Cook the zucchini. Drain the pasta.
Combine 4 Tbsp of pesto + the cooked zucchini + pasta + few tablespoons of the starchy water together.
Serve warm with a tsp of grated Parmesan cheese on top. And most important thing: enjoy!!

TIP.
Keep some ready to use pasta sauces in the freezer, they can really save your meal :-)
I usually have basil pesto, zucchini pesto, bolognese sauce and tomato sauce in one meal pasta portion containers so that I will only thaw what I need. (I use 1 cup of sauce for a pasta of 4)

I’ve been waiting for this beauty for a while now, keep asking the farmer when it would be ready to harvest. Meet Mrs.Celery Root! You can cook it like a potato, but it has such an aromatic flavor!
