Zucchini “Noodles” with Homemade Pesto

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto

So I am absolutely obsessed with my spirazlier! It is such an easy and fun way to feel like I am getting that pasta taste

You could also do squash, or sweet potato “noodles,” but i feel for this specific combo that the pesto and zucchini work well together!and feel for a fraction of the calories! I have used this recipe over and over again for lunches and dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup shallot, diced
  • 2.5 cups basil, packed
  • ½ cup toasted almonds, slivered or diced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 large zucchinis

Instructions

  1. In food processor, or in my case vitamix, combine the onion, basil, almonds, olive oil, vinegar and crushed red pepper until smooth pesto.
  2. Add salt & pepper to taste
  3. Use your fun and nifty spirazlier on the zucchini.
  4. Toss the zucchini noodles with the pesto until the noodles are well coated.
  5. Transfer to a platter or bowl and enjoy!
