Cucumber Noodles and Assembly

3-4 cucumbers

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup pine nuts

1 cup basil vegan cream sauce

Fresh ground pepper

Spiralize the noodles. You should have at least 4 cups.

Pat the noodles dry with paper towels.

Stir in the sauce, tomatoes and pine nuts.

Top with fresh ground pepper.

*Typically you need to soak nuts a minimum of 3-6 hours to get them soft. I tend to soak them overnight. Soak in water, rinse and drain.
