      I can’t think of a better way to start the week than with these zucchini zoodles with pesto. Instead of pasta, this zucchini is spaghetti squash. They are blanched for just a few seconds and then in ice water. The idea is not to cook the zucchini, but to make its texture give a little. And the pesto is traditional. Garlic, basil, parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pine nuts.

        The texture of the zucchini is just right: supple but full-bodied, just what you’re looking for with that quick blanching. The pesto looks creamy, with that sheen that betrays good oil and a balanced mix. And the pine nuts on top… give it the perfect crunchy touch. If you want to play a little more with the presentation, you could try making a nest with the zoodles or give them some height on the plate to make them stand out more.

          @sussan_scoolinaryteam si, la verdad es que no hay mucho emplatado, e hice la foto un segundo antes de ‘atacar’, ya con el plato en la mesa 🤣 Pero es una elaboración con la que se podría jugar mucho más y hacer fotos peeciosas. Anoto el tip de la altura. Graccias, Su
