Directions

{"0":"1) Cut the zucchini in half and cut of the ends. Slice thin on the mandolin, but not so thin that it can hold up. It needs to be somewhat sturdy.","2":"2) Lay on parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil and sift on sea salt. Let marinate.","4":"3) Slice your tomato into at leas 6 slices. Dust with a bit of salt and set aside.","6":"4) For the pesto, combine all ingredients in your food processor. Once the mixture is well combined place into a glass bowl and set aside.","8":"5) For the ricotta, combine all ingredients in your food processor. If you need a bit more moisture, use water. Blend well until fairly smooth. Set aside.","10":"Assembly:","12":"1) Start with three of your zucchini noodles lay them flat on a plate, overlapping just a bit.","14":"2) Then put on a slice of tomato, top with a basil leaf, a dab of pesto and a dab of ricotta, follow the same pattern again starting anew with the zucchini noodles.","16":"3) Do this three times and then top with sauces and a nice sprig of basil.","17":"Additional Tips","19":"* I choose not to make a marinara for this dish, I felt the tomato already added enough flavor, however you can make a really easy marinara with sun dried tomato, olive oil, garlic salt, dates, and some fresh deseeded tomatoes. Just blend them all up and layer on with the other sauces."}
