Step 1

Cut the zucchini into long thin ribbons (a mandoline is ideal), then use a sharp knife to cut each ribbon into thin strips. Place zucchini in a colander set in the sink and toss with 1 tablespoon sea salt. Allow to drain for 30 minutes, then rinse well and pat dry with paper towel.

Step 2

Toss zucchini with pesto, lemon zest, oil and pine nuts, then season. Pile onto plates and sprinkle with the parmesan and drizzle with a little extra oil. Garnish with a few basil leaves and serve.
