Zucchini 'pasta' with pesto - low carbs and delicious :)

I've been wanting to try out zucchini pasta for awhile now and I finally got around to doing it tonight. I've got to say, it was absolutely delicious. When I say 'pasta' what I'm actually referring to is pure, un-adulterated, raw, julienned zucchini squash. No flour, no egg, no cooking - just raw veggie. I mostly winged the whole the thing, but this is a quick run down:

• 3 washed zucchinis, julienned
• fresh cherry tomatoes
• 1 orange bell pepper
• sun-dried tomatoes
• ​olive oil
• crushed red pepper flakes
• salt to taste

Pesto:​

• a bunch of washed basil
• olive oil
• raw walnuts
• freshly grated pecorino cheese
• ​salt to taste

After grating the zucchini, I simmered the fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and crushed red pepper (and salt). I threw the basil into my blender, along with the walnuts, cheese and olive oil (and salt) and whipped it up. mixed it all together (and added some Trader Joes chicken meatballs), and devoured it very quickly. It was really good. And now I'm perfectly full :)

A very easy, healthy, and delicious dinner...​

​The julienned zucchini, simmered tomato and peppers, and blenderized pesto. The green in the tomatoes is some extra basil I had.

The final product (along with some chicken meatballs for protein), moments before it was devoured by the very hungry chef :)
