Sundried Tomato Pesto Zuchinni Pasta topped with Sea Scallops

This recipe may not photograph as well as others... but I'm not kidding you that it's one of my favorites that Kyle concocted. Perfect for the turning weather of summer to fall this meal will warm you right up, and bring you the comfort of a carb filled pasta dish.

Ingredients:

  (all measurements are approximate as this is a dish Kyle throws together)

1/2 Cup Sundried tomatoes

1/2 Cup Almond Meal

1/2 Cup Olive Oil

1 to 2 Large Organic Zucchinis (please buy these organic as zucchinis are on the list of most likely to be a gmo food)

1 Garlic Clove (minced)

1 Cup Chopped Fresh Basil

1/2 Tbs Fresh Chopped Oregano

Salt to taste

Desired amount of Wild Caught Sea Scallops/Shrimp/Chicken etc

Coconut Oil

Additional veggies (if desired)

Instructions:

 Using a noodle maker or by hand take your zuchinnis and turn them into a delightful noodle like consistency. (I bought the GEFU spirelli Spriral Cutter on amazon and I love it)

Once your "noodles" are formed place them in a strainer and lightly salt them. When they are mostly strained place them between paper towels to remove even more of the excess water.

To make your pesto simply place your sundried tomatoes, almond meal, herbs, garlic, and pour in your oil slowly- using either an immersion mixer, food processor, or high speed blender pulse until a desired consistency is formed.

 Before cooking your scallops it's important to make sure that you pat them dry and try to remove as much of the moisture from them as possible.

 Once your scallops are dry pour a good amount of coconut oil into a frying pan and allow it to heat up to a fairly high temperature.
 While you are waiting for your oil to heat up you can begin to saute your noodles in a pan with a bit of olive oil.

 As soon as your coconut oil is very hot saute your scallops for only a few minutes per side, paying close attention to not overcook or under cook them. 

Finally simply toss in your pesto along with your noodles and top with your scallops or meat of choice. Enjoy!
