How to make
The pesto I have here for you can be made with raw zucchini, but they can also be lightly sautéed. You choose your way.
The zucchini and almond pesto is used as pasta sauce, for gnocchi and lasagna, as a pizza sauce, or for risotto. It adds a wonderful and an unique taste to the dishes.
Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater. Salt them and mix them well. Add the peeled raw almonds, grated parmesan and basil to them.
Put all of the ingredients in a blender. Grind, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Season the pesto with olive oil.
Don't make large quantities of zucchini pesto, but just enough to use for one meal.
Enjoy!
