Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
- Sprinkle zucchini with salt and let sit for 5–10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and combine with spinach and artichoke hearts in a mixing bowl.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté diced onions for about 3–5 minutes until soft. Transfer to the mixing bowl.
- In the same skillet, add zucchini cut side down. Caramelize for 3–6 minutes until golden brown. Slice and add to the mixing bowl.
- Blend fresh basil, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, pepitas, yogurt, miso, remaining olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour dressing over pasta mixture, toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning and add more dressing as desired.
