Zucchini Noodles With Sundried Tomato & Olive Pesto

Hi everybody!

Let’s start this season of sunny and warm weather with a colorful and healthy recipe! I got a spiralizer months ago but I never really used it a lot, so with Spring coming I decided to experiment a little. Zucchinis are in season right now and I love the sweetness of cherry tomatoes so it was only a matter of time before I put these two together.

This recipe is perfect for a quick meal! It doesn’t require too many ingredients and you don’t need to cook it for too long. So if you are like me and are just starving when coming home after a long day, that is what you need!

Last time I went shopping at the organic store I found out this interesting sundried tomato and olive pesto that I really wanted to try. It is really delicious and flavorful and it is so convenient. You can make it yourself if you cannot find it, but it definitely is a time saver when making a quick meal. No need to add much of it so it will last a long time!

5- Stir for a couple minutes so the noodles are covered with the pesto and are warm. Don’t cook them too long or they will become soggy.

6- Chopped the bunch of basil and sprinkle it on top. You can also add pine nuts for the crunch and a delicious nutty flavor.
