I am still playing with my spiralizer. I made a cow’s milk version of the Creamy Pesto Zoodle but I prefer the coconut milk version shown here. I encourage you to try it both ways and see which you like better.

Vegetarian Creamy Pesto Zoodles

20190910+creamy+zoodle.jpg

2T coconut oil

1 tin mushrooms, sliced

2T flour

1/2t salt

1/4t pepper

1 can coconut milk

3T nutritional yeast

1/4t nutmeg

2 zucchini, spiralized (zoodles)

1/3c pesto (without cheese added)

In large saucepan over medium high heat add coconut oil and mushrooms. Saute for 3-5 minutes, until they start to brown. Add flour, salt and pepper and cook another 2-3 minutes.

Add coconut milk, yeast, and nutmeg, mixing well. Lower heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add zoodles and mix carefully to not break apart zoodles. Simmer for 3 minutes.

Add pesto, stir gently to combine. Then lower heat again, the sauce should be simmering (slow bubbles) for 10 minutes more. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
