Peel the zucchini with a vegetable peeler (set the peel aside for the pesto) and arrange the resulting wide ribbons on two plates. Dice the part that isn’t suitable for the ribbons and place it in a bowl along with the finely chopped zucchini peel. Finely chop the garlic clove and crush it with the salt. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon, and add it to the bowl along with the garlic, the juice and flesh of one lemon, the finely chopped basil leaves, and seasonings to taste. Add a little water (carefully, but it’s best to add more) and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Pour this pesto over the zucchini ribbons and, if desired, sprinkle with a little more nutmeg.
