Cilantro and walnuts make a bright and flavorful appearance in this creamy pesto dish, a sure meal that you’ll be making this Summer season. If you can’t source walnuts, use the traditional nut used in pesto, pine nuts, or try almonds or pumpkin seeds.

1 garlic clove, peeled & minced
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon sea salt

Sauté zoodles in a skillet until soft, about 5 minutes. When soft, remove from heat and drain any excess water.

Add all pesto ingredients to a food processor and pulse until very creamy.
