Our Zucchini Noodles with Pesto are packed with fresh flavors from basil, garlic, and Parmesan, all tossed together with spiralized zucchini. It’s a deliciously simple way to enjoy your veggies! Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
127×129 - 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:
- Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles, or use a vegetable peeler to make thin ribbons.
- If desired, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly, or leave them raw for a crunchier texture.
- Make the Pesto:
- In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
- Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Toss the zucchini noodles with the freshly made pesto until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with cherry tomatoes and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
