Instructions
There are a few ways to make the noodles. You can use a spiralizer, which I used. I looove it! Or you can cut the squash into very thin strips using a julienne slicer. Alternatively, you can use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to make long ribbons. Sprinkle the squash with salt, toss gently, and place in a colander over a bowl for 20 minutes, allowing the excess liquid in the squash to drain. Carefully squeeze the squash over the colander. Pat with a clean, absorbent kitchen towel to dry.
Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, wine vinegar, basil, parsley, chives, tarragon, garlic, and anchovy in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Using your hands, gently toss the squash with about three-quarters of the dressing. Add the Parmesan and pine nuts (or in my case, walnuts) and toss again. If needed, add the remaining dressing; store any remaining dressing in the fridge for another use.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with small leaves of basil. This dish is best served immediately.
