Ingredients

For the Roasted Red Pepper Pesto
* Want some shortcuts? *
For the Zucchini Noodles

Instructions

Make the Pesto

Combine all the ingredients for pesto (besides the oil) in a food processor or blender. Pulse for 20 seconds and then stream in the olive oil until the pesto becomes a sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the Zucchini Noodles

Next, heat a large skillet on medium heat with a little olive oil and add zucchini spirals. Put a lid on the pan so that the zucchini spirals can soften. Give the zucchini a few stirs (about 5-10 minutes). The goal is to get them slightly softened, not brown.

After 5 minutes, add in the pint of cherry tomatoes. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add in the quartered artichoke hearts, then add in enough pesto to fully coat the zucchini. Add the parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Remove from heat and serve. This dish is great on its own or with seared shrimp. Enjoy!

(Almost) Vegan Vodka Pasta

(Almost) Vegan Vodka Pasta

(Almost) Vegan Vodka Pasta

Servings

3-4

Ingredients

Instructions

Soak the cashews in 1 cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain, blend in a high speed blender or food processor, and set aside. 

Meanwhile, boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions and cook until done. 

While the pasta cooks, chop the onion and add to a saute pan with olive oil. Saute on medium high heat for about 5 minutes until lightly golden. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes while stirring it around. Reduce the heat to low then add the vodka. Cook for about 8 minutes until the vodka has reduced. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

At this point, you can transfer the sauce to a blender with the cashews to create a finely smooth sauce, OR you can keep it rustic if you don’t want to deal with transfering it. 

Add the pureed cashews and tomato mix back into a large pan or pot and add the cooked pasta and cheeses into the pot. Stir to combine and add a pinch of red pepper flake. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper accordingly. Garnish with fresh basil if you have it and extra cheese. Serve with roasted broccoli or asparagus. Enjoy!
