About the Recipe
Spiralized zucchini noodles are the perfect base for a healthy, easy summer recipe.
Ingredients
4 large firm organic zucchnis, peeled
½ c. basil pesto, made with olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Special equipment: vegetable spiral slicer
Using a spiral slicer, cut zucchini into thick, long noodles. Cut the zoodles with kitchen scissors once they reach 10 inches in length.
Â
Place cut zoodles on paper or clean kitchen towels and gently blot to absorb excess moisture.
Â
Place zoodles in a medium, non-reactive bowl and top with basil pesto. Toss gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
Add sliced cherry tomatoes and parmasan cheese to add additional flavor to the zoodles. Also consider topping with grilled shrimp, salmon or chicken for a more satisfying meal.
Zucchini contains a ton of water, therefore this recipe does not make for good left overs.
