• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions Checklist

• Step 1
• Wash the zucchinis thoroughly.
• Step 2
• Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchinis into noodle-like strands. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a regular vegetable peeler to create long ribbons.

• Step 4
• Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
• Step 5
• With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Step 6
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Step 7
• Heat a large pan over medium heat.
• Step 8
• Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly tender but still crisp (al dente).Be careful not to overcook, as the noodles can become mushy.
• Step 9
• Remove the pan from heat and add the pesto sauce to the zucchini noodles.
• Step 10
• Toss until the noodles are well-coated with the pesto.
• Step 11
• Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and halved cherry tomatoes if desired. For more recipes like this, check out my Free E-Book that i have created for you: https://zulumanzwthescientsit.aweb.page/Free-Keto-Book
