For the zucchini noodles:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

4 zucchini, cut with a spiralizer into linguine shaped noodles

1 cup Romesco Sauce (recipe follows)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon grated pecorino cheese or other hard sheep’s milk cheese (optional but recommended)

For the Romesco Sauce:

1 large red bell pepper
1 cup grape tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts or blanched almonds

Instructions

For the zucchini noodles:

1) In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook, stirring,
for 2 to 3 minutes.
2) Transfer the zucchini noodles to a bowl and add the romesco sauce. Toss to thoroughly coat the
noodles.

For the Romesco Sauce (makes ¾ cup of sauce):

1) Preheat the broiler or heat a grill to medium-high heat.
2) Broil or grill the bell pepper, tomatoes, and garlic until blistered with a bit of char and soft all the way
through. Transfer the tomatoes and garlic to a food processor. Stem and seed the bell pepper and add it
to the food processor as well.
3) Add the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and olive oil and process until smooth. Add the pine nuts and
pulse until combined but the nuts still have some texture.
4) Store the sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Toss it with veggie noodles
or cooked proteins, or use it as a dressing.
