This Pesto Zucchini Spaghetti is a fabulous low-carb, healthy meal that your whole family will enjoy.
I finally bought a vegetable spiralizer! Why have I waited so long? I love this little gadget! 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.
It’s one of my favorite veggies that we plant each year. Plus since it grows so abundantly, I am always looking for different ways to serve it. I always used to just roast it, but I have come up with many other recipes, like zucchini cakes, zucchini squash and tomato bake or these fabulous mushroom stuffed zucchini.
So, I after buying my new gadget, I decided to make this easy side dish to go along with our turkey burgers last week.
You can actually just eat the noodles raw or saute 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!
INGREDIENTS
3 medium zucchini
1/4- 1/3 cup of basil pesto
Cherry tomatoes
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Slice the zucchini with a spiralizer or mandolin slider into noodles.
If sauteing, add 1 TBSP of coconut oil or olive oil to a pan. Add “noodles” and heat for 3-5 minutes.
Toss the noodles with the basil pesto
Add sliced tomatoes and toss to coat.
ENJOY!!
