Spiralize the two zucchinis into spaghetti using a spiralizer (1 zucchini per plate/serving). For the pesto, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic clove. Place them in a blender along with the pine nuts, fresh basil leaves, olive oil, salt, paprika, pepper, and a little water and puree using an electric hand blender. Gradually add enough water until a creamy consistency is achieved. Then pour the pesto over the zucchini spaghetti. Tip: A large garlic clove is only suitable for garlic fans; otherwise, use a small one. If you can’t tolerate raw garlic, you can use a small onion instead. It also tastes delicious. Of course, the pesto can be spiced up with chili or hot paprika.
