Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped.
- With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until the pesto is smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
- Toss the noodles with the pesto until evenly coated.
- Serve with cherry tomatoes if desired.
Zucchini is low in fat, sugar, and calories, and high in vitamin C and fiber, making it a great substitute for traditional pasta noodles. Fiber helps to regulate bowels and maintain good digestive health, and vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to protect cells.
Are pesto noodles healthy?
Pesto is flavorful and bright and can liven up vegetables, pizza, potatoes and pasta. It’s also high in healthy fats, which help keep you satisfied. Fat may be higher in calories, but it also takes longer to digest (read: satisfying) and allows your body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K.
