Zoodles with Sun dried Tomatoes & Pesto

Uncategorized

July 18, 2015 by Drafts & Crafts

Zucchini is one veggie that I actually enjoy eating so I have been dying to make zoodles! I am extremely happy with my new spiral cutter, here is a easy pesto dish for you to try.

{Serves} 4 people (cut in half for 2 people)
{Time} 35 mins

{Ingredients}

  • 5 Zucchini 
  • Spiral cutter or Julienne peeler
  • 1 jar of Pesto Sauce (I used Trader Joe’s- so yummy!!)
  • 6 oz. sun dried tomatoes
  • pinch of garlic
  • pinch of rosemary 
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Recommend pairing:
    -Crab cake (Trader Joe’s)
    -Salmon
    -Cod
    -Chicken

1. Spiral the zucchini into noodles with a spiral cutter or julienne peeler. (There are several helpful YouTube videos that you can watch) I cut the very tip off the end of the zucchini that will go into the cutter.

2. Heat the noodles in a large skillet over medium. Add pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and spices. Heat for 10 minutes or until noodles are hot. Pair with a light crab cake, fish, or chicken.

I hate admitting this but I have to force myself to eat vegetables. Ever since I can remember, I put up a fight to eat veggies. I have come ALONG way since then though! I can truthfully say that I love broccoli, spinach, zucchini (squash), brussels sprouts, asparagus, and cucumbers. I try to find new recipes and ways to prepare vegetables. I try to use a lot of spices while avoiding too much fat like butter and oil because that defeats the purpose of eating healthy food. 

I have wanted to make zoodles for quite some time now. Thanks to Sur La Table my green dream came true!! I purchased the GEFU spiral cutter on sale for $20. For some reason it didn’t get the best reviews but I love mine! I don’t really plan to cut other veggies besides squash and carrots and for those items, it worked PERFECT! It is so easy to use, just like a pencil sharpener. I had no problems… if I can do it, you can do it! 🙂 

Please share any delicious zoodle recipe you may have!!

Keep in touch, 
Dani
