Nothing like a good warm pesto over zucchini noodles after a long day of work! Pesto is such a great sauce to use in sandwiches, over pasta, as a dip or in wraps. In this recipe we pour a generous amount over freshly spiralized zucchini noodles.
If you’ve never had zucchini noodles, you might be a little skeptical. Will they taste good? Will I miss regular noodles? Once you get the hang of the spiralizer, we are confident you will love zucchini in the place of noodles! Not only are they WAY lower in calories than wheat, but zucchini are also jam packed with minerals like magnesium, potassium, copper and phosphorus. They even have some omega-3 fatty acids!
Don’t have a spiralizer? All's not lost! Simple slice the zucchini as thin as you can and steam for a minute or two so it turns soft.
