2 Tablespoons Pompeian Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil

preparation

  1. Place rice and water in an instant pot or pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 19 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it naturally release for 5 minutes before taking the lid off.
  2. For the veggies: in a sauté pan, warm Pompeian Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Once hot, add zucchini and mushroom, sauteing for 5-7 minutes, or until mushrooms have reduced in size. Add tomatoes, corn, and garlic, plus a pinch of salt, stir to combine and sauté another 5 minutes, until zucchini has softened.
  3. For the sauce: while the veggies are sauteing, place the zucchini, basil, water, Pompeian Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic, and salt in a blender. Puree until very smooth, taste and add salt if need be.
  4. Once everything is prepared divide it between two large bowls and drizzle sauce over the top. Serve while warm and enjoy!
