Makes 2-4 servings

Lemon Garlic Sauce
  • 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 small garlic cloves
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
Pasta
  • 2 large zucchini, peeled and cut in half horizontally
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 12-15 leaves of fresh basil (available at the IWFM!)
  • 4 whole macadamia nuts
  1. To make garlic sauce, blend first five ingredients in high-speed blender until smooth and macadamia nuts are completely blended. Add the water and blend until completely combined. Set aside.
  2. Use spiralizer to create pasta from your zucchini noodles.
  3. Cut your basil into thin strips.
  4. Pour sauce over pasta, sprinkle with basil and tomato. Use microplane or small grater to grate the macadamia nuts over pasta like parmesan cheese.
  5. Enjoy with someone you love :)
NOTE:
  • If you don't have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to make your noodles.
  • Make extra sauce to use for pasta during the week
