Tofu Pesto Zoodles

Zoodles with Tofu Pesto (Serves 1)

Ingredients:

1 medium zucchini
1/4 teaspoon salt
50 grams tofu
1/2 large avocado
15 grams fresh basil leaves
20 grams walnuts
1-2 cloves garlic (to taste)
1/4 lemon (juiced)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

Prepare the Zoodles:

Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, slice the zucchini into delicate ribbons or spiralize it into noodles. Be careful to stop peeling once you reach the seeds.

Make the Tofu Pesto:

In a food processor, combine the avocado, basil, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, tofu, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cook the Zoodles:

Heat a pan over medium heat. Sauté the zoodles for 3-5 minutes, just until they begin to soften. Be careful not to overcook; they should retain some texture.
Combine and Serve:

Remove the pan from the heat and gently mix the sautéed zoodles with the tofu pesto until well-coated.
Plate the zoodles, swirling them into an attractive presentation.
Enjoy!

Feel free to adjust the garlic and lemon juice according to your taste. Enjoy your healthy and delicious zoodles with tofu pesto!
