Directions

20 mins to prep

12 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Place the first 7 pesto ingredients into a food processor and turn it on. Then drizzle the oil through the feed shoot to emulsify as it blends. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

  2. Step 2

    For the tomatoes, preheat the oven to 180°C. Place tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt & pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until softened and cooked.

  3. Step 3

    Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and zucchini and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the pesto, toss to coat the noodles, and warm through. Remove from heat and divide among four plates.

  4. Step 4

    Top with roasted tomatoes and serve garnished with extra basil leaves.

Hot tip!

Grate some vegan parmesan over the top for a nice finishing touch!
