Hello and welcome to Orgasmik Cooking!

We’re so excited you stopped by to look at our very first recipe! 🙂

This Spiralized Zucchini with Sun-Dried Tomato Arugula Pesto is an Italian inspired dish with a bit of a twist.

Instead of using traditional pasta, we decided to make this healthier by using spiralized Zucchini as a substitute.

Depending on what type of spiralizer you have, you’ll want to use the smallest setting that makes ‘thin like noodles’, as shown in the picture above.

Now to make the Pesto!

Pesto is super easy to make.

Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Almonds, Salt, and Pepper to a small Food Processor and pulse 10-20 seconds.

Add in Basil, Arugula, Parmesan, EVOO, and pulse 30 seconds (stop occasionally and scrape down sides to make sure it’s blended well).

Add in 3-6 Tbs water and pulse 10 seconds (start with 3 and keep adding water until texture is smooth and not pasty).

Add 2 Tablespoons of the Pesto to the spiralized Zucchini and mix with tongs.

Serve immediately.

Note: you can store the rest of the Pesto in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
