Creating Simple Vegan Pesto Zoodles is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Spiralize the Zucchini: Start by spiralizing the zucchini using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Set aside in a large bowl.
2. Prepare the Pesto: In a food processor, add the basil leaves, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine.
3. Add Olive Oil: While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture becomes a smooth pesto.
4. Taste and Adjust: Stop to taste the pesto. Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
5. Cook the Zoodles: In a large pan over medium heat, add the spiralized zucchini. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still al dente.
6. Combine: Remove the pan from heat and add the prepared pesto to the zucchini noodles. Toss well to coat all the zoodles with the flavorful pesto.
7. Garnish and Serve: Plate the zoodles garnished with halved cherry tomatoes and, if desired, a sprinkle of extra nutritional yeast.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delightful dish that showcases the freshness and flavor of the ingredients while providing a satisfying, healthy meal option.
