- Now work with the pestle until the garlic is finely crushed. Add the basil leaves along with another pinch of coarse salt.
- Now press the basil against the walls of the mortar. While doing so, turn the pestle from left to right and at the same time turn the mortar in the opposite direction (from right to left). Continue until a light green liquid comes out of the basil leaves. At this point, add the pine nuts and process again with the pestle.16 g pine nuts

Tip
Instead of a mortar, the pesto can also be made with a regular blender or hand blender.
If you prefer to serve this dish warm, you can add the pesto zucchini spaghetti mixture into a large pan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 to 4 minutes.
