Zucchini pesto

2 cups grated zucchini 
1 clove garlic (or more depending on taste, I used 1.5 teaspoons Preminced garlic)
2 tablespoons pine nuts (can substitute other oily nuts such as: walnuts, pumpkin seed, almonds, I used walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves 
  • 1 leaf kale (for color more than taste, can substitute spinach, I used a small handful of a frozen kale/spinach mix) 
  • 1-4 tablespoons olive oil (depends on how liquidy you want your pesto to be, I only used 1 tablespoon)

Place all ingredients in vitamix.
Select variable 1. 
Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to variable 7. 
Blend for 1 minutes 

Serve over your favorite pasta or shredded zucchini, (I ate it with shredded zucchini added mushrooms and tomatoes) and enjoy!!
