Meanwhile, rinse and drain the farro; then toast it in a pot along with 2 tablespoons of EVO. Pour in cold water and bring it to a boil. Cook the farro for ab. 30 minutes or until is tender. Then, drain and combine the farro to the zucchini and seafood mixture, sautéing for a couple a minutes before removing from the heat and setting it aside.

Spread the pesto over each individual dish, shape the farro with a small ring mould and place it in the middle of each dish. Sprinkle some almonds on top to garnish and serve warm.
