Easy 4 30 minuti
Ingredients
320 g short pasta
2 zuchinis
15 g pine nuts
100 g strakì Sterilgarda
2 cucchiai grated parmesan cheese
10 cherry tomatoes
q.b. oil
Preparation
  1. Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini, then roughly chop them. There's no need to cook them first; just let them dry.
  2. Place the courgettes in a blender or food processor: if you prefer, you can also use a hand blender.
  3. Pulse the zucchini until finely chopped, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and oil.
  4. Continue blending and then add the Strakì Sterilgarda.
  5. Blend for a few more seconds, always intermittently and shaking the jug if necessary.
  6. The resulting pesto should be creamy, so you can add oil or Strakì Sterilgarda depending on the consistency you want.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the pasta and drain it al dente.
  8. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into wedges.
  9. Season the pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes.
  10. If, however, you want to serve it cold, you can keep it in the refrigerator until ready to serve it.
