Zucchini Noodles with Pesto brings a burst of freshness and flavor that's perfect for a hot summer day. By spiralizing fresh zucchinis and tossing them with a homemade basil pesto, this dish is both light and satisfying. The vibrant green hues of the pesto contrast beautifully with the delicate strands of zucchini, making it an appealing option for a healthy meal.
Spiralize the zucchinis using a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zoodles.
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.
With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the pesto until evenly coated.
If desired, add cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your fresh zucchini noodles with homemade pesto.
