The pesto can be used as a marinade or on bread.

-2/3 cup olive oil
-A handful (about 20 large leaves) of fresh basil
-1 Tablespoon minced garlic
-3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
-Optional: A couple squirts of lemon juice

Directions:

Optional:Toast the pine nuts on a pan over medium heat until lightly browned.  Be careful not to burn the nuts.

Add all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until basil is very fine.

Using a julienne peeler or zoodle / spiral slicer, peel a large zucchini.

Place zucchini in bowl, top with pesto, and garnish with remaining pine nuts.
