  • 40 g of almonds without skin
  • 1 lb Cassulli pasta, similar to Cavatelli

  • Instructions

    Wash the zucchini and cut into strips. Then in tiny little pieces. In a pan heat a little extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic. Add the zucchini and fry for about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and a little water to continue cooking. Cook for about 10 minutes. With a fork, crush the zucchini until you create a creamy sauce; at this point, add the previously mixed almonds, basil, cheese and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

    Drain the pasta and add your pesto. Serve hot or as a cold salad
