I got carried away with alliteration. It\u2019s not pasta at all \u2013 it\u2019s courgette (zucchini) noodles. Still \u2013 makes for a catchy title, eh? Seeing as I\u2019m trying to do a bit of a january thing, you know, detox and get back to basics, for the foreseeable future, I was worried that my recipe posting might wane. But hopefully, I can still come up with some tasty recipes that you folks will enjoy. Especially those low carb afficiandos like myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe involves a bit of cheese, sorry Paleo Police. I have made pesto without parmesan, but it\u2019s just not the same. I suppose it really wouldn\u2019t be pesto without the cheese. Then again \u2013 it doesn\u2019t contain basil or pine nuts either\u2026. Instead, I use arugula (rocket) and pistachio. I was thrilled to find shelled pistachios in the market here in Spain \u2013 I had NO idea I could buy them. Stay tuned for more recipes involving pistachios, I\u2019m sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll end up with quite a bit of pesto. You\u2019ll find uses for it, I\u2019m sure. You could stuff some cherry tomatoes with it and make some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thecreativecaveman.com\/2025\/2025\/cherry-tomato-pesto-poppers\/\">Pesto Poppers<\/a>. Or you can add a bit more oil to it and use it as a salad dressing. Spread it on your baked sweet potato or make a tasty omelet.
