SUMMER VEGETABLE PESTO PASTA
Yummy and absolutely guilt-free, this pesto "pasta" had way less calories compared to a bowl of traditional pesto pasta. A perfect vegan meal, side dish, paleo meal, or just for fun meal. I used the VeggiePasta 4-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer to make my vegetable "pasta". Got it off amazon.com. Quite the portable/handy tool! Recipe taken from VeggiePasta Recipe Book.

- Drain the noodles and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. [This helps to drain excess water].
- Sauté the mushrooms in a little olive oil for about 4 minutes (must not exceed medium heat).
- Remove the cashews from the water and drain. Keep the sack water to one side.
- Place the cashews in a blender (or food processor) with 1 cup of the soak water. Add in the lemon juice, nutmeg, basil, salt, pepper and garlic. gently pulse until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Serve sauce over the pasta. Bon appetite!

VEGETABLE PESTO PASTA
If you like pesto, this makes a great pasta dish, especially for using up some of the vegetables from your summer garden. It can be either a side dish or a main dish for supper. The amount of oil required for the pesto is approximate, so be prepared to use more if needed. The pesto directions make more than is needed for the dish, so reserve the extra pesto for another use.
