Sun-Dried Tomato + Pesto 'Pasta' [zucchini noodles]
Author: 
Recipe type: veggies
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 5-6 medium zucchini, washed + cut ends off and cut in half
  • 1 8-oz jar sun-dried tomatoes, drain oil + slice thinly [I like the Mezzetta® brand; I use about ¾ of the jar of tomatoes, but feel free to use less]
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ – 1 cup homemade basil pesto [recipe below]
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes [optional]
  • Sea salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add zucchini noodles, sea salt and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Lower heat to medium. Next, add sun dried tomatoes and pesto. Start with ½ cup pesto and add more if needed or desired. Combine all ingredients well and cook for 5-10 minutes until the moisture from the zucchini noodles has lessened slightly. Your noodles should be “al-dente” meaning that that have a slight crunch to them and are not mushy. Serve warm.
