• 2 cups dried zucchini
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
• 1 cup walnuts, toasted
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Cooking Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, add all the ingredients except the olive oil to a food processor.
3. Blend until smooth and then slowly drizzle in the oil until combined.
4. Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining and set aside.
5. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
6. Add the pesto and stir, pouring in a little pasta water at a time to thin the pesto out. You might not need it all so do this in stages.
