Directions

Start preparing the pesto sauce by adding the garlic and basil leaves into a blender/food processor until they are fully chopped.  Then add the parmesan cheese and olive oil into the processor until smooth.  Set aside the pesto sauce in a mixing bowl.

To prepare the zoodles, use a spiral vegetable slicer/cutter to slice the zucchini to resemble a noodle.  Boil the zoodles for just one minute, drain the water, and set aside.  Heat the pesto sauce for just one minute in the microwave and then mix it in a bowl with the zoodles.  Add salt/pepper to taste.  Enjoy!
