Method
Step 1 of 3
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange tomato cut side-up on tray with garlic. Cook for 20 minutes or until lightly coloured. Cool.
Step 2 of 3
Squeeze soft garlic from the skins into a food processor. Add pine nuts, basil and half the tomato and process until finely chopped. With motor running, gradually add oil and process until a loose paste forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in parmesan.
Step 3 of 3
Using a spiraliser, cut zucchini into noodles. Blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes or until just tender. Drain well. Divide zoodles into bowls. Top with pesto and scatter with extra tomatoes, basil and parmesan. Serve immediately.
