  1. Combine with Pesto: Toss the zucchini noodles with pesto sauce and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring an even coating on the noodles.
  1. Serve Immediately: Serve the zucchini noodles fresh as a light entrée or side dish. You can pair it with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more substantial meal.

TIPS FOR ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH PESTO

  • For added crunch, garnish with chopped nuts or seeds.
  • If you prefer warm noodles, sauté the zucchini briefly in a pan before adding the pesto.
  • You can adjust the pesto quantity to suit your taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Add cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of flavour.
  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist.
  • Toss in some cooked pasta with zucchini noodles for a heartier meal.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover zucchini noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve them fresh for the best taste, as the noodles can become watery if stored too long.
  • Freezer: Avoid freezing zucchini noodles, as they can lose their texture and become mushy when thawed.
