Preparation

• Cut the bottom end off of the zucchini, leaving the top end as something for you to hold on to.
• Peel the skin off of the zucchini, leaving about 1 inch of skin at the top to hold while you make your “pasta”.
• Once the skin is removed from the majority of the zucchini, continue to peel the vegetable into strips until you can’t peel anymore. Do this for each zucchini.
• Place all of the strips in the bowl. Set aside.
• Place all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  Blend until smooth sauce is formed.
• Fill your bowl with zucchini “pasta”, pour the sauce on top, and garnish with some freshly chopped basil.
