Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis spiralized into noodles
  • 1/4 cup keto-friendly pesto
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and saute for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  • Toss the zoodles with pesto and season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with Parmesan and serve warm.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Saute the zoodles just until they lose their raw crunch - a minute too long and they turn watery. Keto Swap: traditional pasta side is replaced with spiralized zucchini noodles.
