Zuchinni Spaghetti with Cilantro Pesto!

We are having quite some fun with our new "Spiralizer". This wondrous contraption turns your ordinary, yet delightful, vegetable or fruit into noodles!!
So here you see raw zuchinni "noodles" with a homemade cilantro pesto. yum yum!


For the Pesto, I toasted about a 1/2 cup of almonds for about 5 mins on 400*F, put them, along with about 6 cloves of garlic in the food processor. Process until a crumbly mash of garlicky almond goodness. Pour some olive oil (gauge for pesto consistency) in with some salt and just a pinch of nutmeg. Then add about 3/4 of a bunch of cilantro - the more the better to help detox those heavy metals! And voila! Cilantro Pesto! You can pretty much substitute any sort of green leafiness - spinach, arugula, our tried and true basil, etc..
