tablespoons
pine nuts
Zoodles from 2 medium spiralized zucchini
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the first 11 ingredients with ½ cup of the olive oil and set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and add the zoodles.
Sauté over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, using tongs to toss. (Zucchini zoodles should be crisp or al dente, never soggy!)
Using tongs, transfer to a serving bowl and drain away any excess liquid. Rinse and dry the pan, then lightly toast the pine nuts over medium heat.
Just prior to serving, dress the zoodles with the vinaigrette and garnish with toasted pine nuts and cheese.
