THC-Infused Basil Pesto Zoodles

Ingredients:

- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused olive oil (adjust based on desired potency)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cherry tomatoes and additional Parmesan for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. **Prepare Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil:**
   - Infuse olive oil with THC in advance using your preferred method.

2. **Toast Pine Nuts:**
   - In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

4. **Add Lemon Juice:**
   - Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the pesto sauce and blend again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. **Prepare Zoodles:**
   - Spiralize the zucchinis into zoodles using a spiralizer.

6. **Sauté Zoodles:**
   - In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the zoodles in a bit of regular olive oil for 2-3 minutes or until they are just tender. Avoid overcooking to maintain a slight crunch.

7. **Combine Pesto and Zoodles:**
   - Toss the sautéed zoodles with the THC-infused basil pesto until well coated.

8. **Garnish:**
   - Garnish the THC-Infused Basil Pesto Zoodles with halved cherry tomatoes and additional Parmesan if desired.

9. **Serve:**
   - Plate the zoodles and enjoy this savory and cannabis-infused twist on classic basil pesto pasta.

Remember to be mindful of the THC content in your infused olive oil and adjust based on your tolerance. Enjoy the unique flavorful dish responsibly.
