Low in calories, gluten-free and full of flavour - this easy recipe is ideal for anyone who wants to eat light and healthily without sacrificing taste. When it’s hot outside and you find yourself craving lighter meals, zucchini spaghetti with pesto is the perfect choice. This dish looks just like pasta, tastes wonderfully fresh, just like a salad, and at the same time, is low in carbohydrates, gluten free and quick to prepare.
Zoodles also taste brilliant raw – especially in summer as a cold dish with cold pesto. So you can simply mix them with the pesto straight after cutting. Instead of mozzarella minis, you can also use pan fried haloumi, tofu or boiled eggs.

- Place the toasted pine nuts, basil, garlic and Parmesan in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil in a thin steady stream until well combined.
- Wash the zucchini, slice off the ends, then use a spiralizer to cut them into spaghetti shape. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to peel zucchini, then cut the slices into long matchsticks.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Gently fry the prepared zucchini over a low heat, stirring, for 2–3 minutes, then toss in 1/3 of basil pesto. Remove from the heat. Add the basil and parsley leaves to the pan. Season. Toss to combine.
- Divide the zucchini mixture evenly among serving plates and top with mozzarella minis. Drizzle with more pesto and serve immediately.

...a great way to enjoy zucchini!
My wife once made a pesto with green vegetables. I think it was broccoli?
Those yellow zucchinis are so cute and pretty, we had them here a few summmers ago, but not this year.
Yummy! I just noticed 2 little zucchinis starting to grow in the garden too. :)
Delicious!

Zucchini noddles are so much fun to eat and I can see myself saucing the plate with a nice piece of bread because I just can't resist pesto and mozzarella together! ~Nessa

Great use of zucchini! I wish I liked pesto, but maybe I can use this basic recipe and use something else?
