Ingredients

4 small Zucchini
2 cups packed Basil Leaves
2 cloves Garlic
⅓ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp fresh Lemon Juice
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
Kosher Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper
Grape Tomatoes (optional, for topping)

Directions

Spiralize the Zucchini
Using a julienne peeler, spiralizer, or mandoline, slice the zucchini into thin noodles. Set aside.
Make the Pesto
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves and garlic. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth.
Stop and scrape down the sides. Add the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until fully blended.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss and Serve
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the pesto until evenly coated.
Top with cherry or grape tomatoes, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Optional: Lightly Cook
If you prefer warm noodles, quickly sauté the pesto-coated zucchini in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook—they should remain firm, not mushy.
