This Pesto Zucchini Noodles recipe is a fabulous low-carb, healthy dish that is so quick to make with just 4 ingredients. Add chicken or shrimp for an even more balanced meal.
It’s one of my favorite vegetables to plant each year. Since it grows so abundantly, I am always looking for different ways to cook it. I used to just roast it, but I have come up with several other recipes to make that are a big hit in our family like baked zucchini cakes, zucchini casserole or this fabulous spicy asian zucchini.
I finally bought Zucchini Noodle Maker! Why have I waited so long? I love this little gadget so much! With the garden planting happening this weekend, I can’t wait for the eating of loads of zucchini and summer squash in a few months.
After buying my vegetable spiralizer, I decided to make this easy side dish to go along with Grilled Italian Chicken.
You can actually just eat these veggie spaghetti noodles raw or sauté them for just a couple minutes over medium heat, which is what I did. I know I will be making it raw a lot this summer for an even quicker healthy lunch.
Simple as simple can be!
