Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon pine nuts
Flaky sea salt
14 ounces dried spaghetti
2 cups fresh basil plus a handful of leaves, for garnish
1 small clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To toast the pine nuts, tip 1 tablespoon of the nuts into a dry saute pan over medium-high heat and toast, tossing constantly, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add a generous pinch of flaky sea salt to a large saucepan of boiling water. Add the spaghetti and cook as per packet instructions. It should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the pesto, put 2 cups basil, the remaining 1/3 cup pine nuts, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice into a food processor. Blitz until everything is well blended.
  • When the pasta is just cooked (al dente) drain it in a colander. Add the pesto to the saucepan then tip the pasta back in. Stir well to make sure every strand of pasta is coated in the pesto.
  • Tip into a large family-style serving dish, garnish with the toasted pine nuts and a few basil leaves.

LEMON PESTO SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Lemon Pesto Spaghetti Squash image

This veggie-heavy bowl is a great gluten-free, vegan weeknight dinner. Check out this post on how to cook spaghetti squash for tips on how to prepare perfectly al dente, not-too-mushy strands.

Provided by Jeanine Donofrio

Categories     Main dish

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium spaghetti squash
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 cups cauliflower florets
Hemp Seed Pesto (use spinach and herbs in place of the kale)
2 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped
Juice of ½ small lemon, plus wedges for serving
2 tablespoons pine nuts
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Prepare and roast the spaghetti squash according to the instructions in this post. Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on the second baking sheet. Roast for about 25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, make the pesto and set aside.
  • Place the baby spinach in a large bowl. Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash into strands. Add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper (you can do this right in the spaghetti squash halves). Add the spaghetti squash to the bowl and gently toss, so that the heat from the squash lightly wilts the spinach leaves.
  • Add the roasted cauliflower, pine nuts, parsley, and a dollop of the pesto.
  • Optional step: toss it all together so that the pesto coats all of the vegetables.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, extra pesto, and Parmesan, if desired.
