Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozSundried tomatoes - cut small pieces
3 cups 711mlZucchini - cut into "noodles"
3 cups 711mlSummer squash - cut into "noodles"
1 1/2 cups 219g / 7.7ozDiced seeded yellow or orange pepper

1/2 cup 118mlBasil-Parsley Pesto Sauce - (see recipe), or
  More to taste

1/3 cup 78mlPine nuts
3 tablespoons 45mlNutritional yeast flakes
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, place the sundried tomatoes, cover with warm water, and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes to rehydrate. Drain off any remaining water from the sundried tomatoes (saving it for use in another dish) and set aside.

To make "noodles" from vegetables, use a spiral vegetable slicer to cut the zucchini and summer squash into "noodles" or long ribbons. Or, slice the zucchini and summer squash in half lengthwise, make a "v" shaped cut to remove most of the seed section, and cut the seed section into long thin strips. Then, using a vegetable peeler, shave long strips down the entire length of the zucchini and summer squash halves, repeating the process for all of the zucchini and summer squash halves, and then pack the "noodles" into a measuring cup to measure.

Transfer the zucchini and summer squash "noodles" to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and toss gently to combine. Season the mixture to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
