Another way to enjoy your Sun Dried Tomato Pumpkin Seed Pesto. Yesterday, we placed it on a tomato slice and made a great appetizer. Today, enjoy the wonderful flavor and health benefits of pumpkin seeds in a main dish! Combined with zucchini noodles and heirloom tomatoes, this dish makes a filling lunch or dinner that will fit beautifully into your raw food menu. If you don’t have heirlooms, any other flavorful tomato will work.
Pumpkin Seed Pesto Pasta
- 1/2 C Pumpkin Seed Pesto (click on link for recipe)
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 Large Fresh Tomato, Chopped
- 1/4 C Sun Dried Tomatoes, Chopped
- Fresh Basil
- Pine Nut Parmesan (click on link for recipe)
Run zucchini through spiral cutter to get noodles. Alternatively, you can cut the zucchini into very thin noodle shapes. Massage the pesto into the noodles. This works best by hand. Once the noodles are coated, mix in sun dried tomatoes. Place on plate and top with fresh chopped tomatoes, pine nut parmesan and fresh basil.

Now THAT is a stellar dish – holy yum!
That recipe looks awesome! I was commenting on lots of your posts awhile back (I am the girl who’s parents still live in Excelsior and I grew up in Minnetonka) but anyway, I still read all your recipes and am always in love with what I see.
Delicious! So colorful and I know flavorful. I love making pumpkin seed pesto but by adding the tomatoes it adds a whole new appearance!
Wow. This is even prettier than yesterday’s post. I hope you have a cookbook in the works!

Oh wow, that is a great looking meal. I am going to try making that pumpkin seed pesto – I am always trying to find ways to eat more pumpkin seeds for all their zinc-y goodness!
Yes! On top of everything else, they are full of Zinc!

Wow!

This also looks sooo good!!
Same question, hope you don’t mind: how many people does this recipe serve?
Thanks!!
This could easily serve 4.
Depending on how much zucchini you use, you could also serve 4.
Gorgeous and drool worthy! The pesto sounds awesome!
Mmmm… I will HAVE to try this– sans tomato, of course!
