Spontaneous Pesto and Zucchini Pasta

So I had extra cilantro from my last recipe and didn't know what to do with it. So naturally I thought of pesto! Last time I made pesto at school was disastrous because the blender was quite inadequate. However, this time I had a magic bullet to use and it had enough power. So I arbitrarily mixed cilantro, kale, cheddar cheese, garlic and almonds plus a bit of vegetables broth instead of oil to help it mix. And it turned out delicious!

Or at least intriguing.
The moral is that all you really need for pesto is something green and leafy, a cheese, a nut, a liquid, and garlic. Customizable deliciousness.

Then of course I needed something to eat it with. Pasta naturally came to mind. But pasta takes time and I didn't want all the carbs. However I did have an extra zucchini, also nearing the end of its prime. So I made something I've been wanting to make for a long time. Zucchini pasta! I thought I needed a spiralizer for it but just using an peeler was really quite alright. I peeled noodles and then sautéed them all with some olive oil and a bit of lime juice. 

Then I put my pesto on top and added a few Gardein beefless tips and Voila!

:) pretty darn gourmet!
