Pesto pasta salad Renal/Kidney Diet

This is a basic pasta salad I made for a superbowl party and forgot to post up.

The creation is relatively simple.

1. I cooked 1lb bowtie/fafarelle pasta in unsalted water until al-dente
2. I thinly sliced 5 zucchini and 2 onions, sauteing them together in 1 tbspn olive oil
3. I placed 6oz. basil leaves, 1/2 cup minced garlic and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor to make the "pesto" (no pine nuts as they are high in potassium)
4. I then tossed all this together with 1/2 tspn salt, pepper to taste, and 3 ounces shaved romano (which is more than you think)

Overall it was pretty yummy, especially when warm, though I definitely felt it needed a bit more salt and maybe more pepper.  Maybe next time I'll add lemon juice or another 1/2 tspn salt.

Here are some leftovers:

This makes a very large amount of pasta so I listed it as 10 servings.
