Pesto is a versatile and flavorful sauce that works with many dishes. We love adding it into zucchini noodle (zoodle) or eggs. Based on the ingredients, it also offers good nutrition. For example healthy fats from the nuts and extra olive oil, protein and calcium from parmesan cheese.
Zucchini noodle is another way to add more vegetables into your diet. The key here to make zucchini tender and soft is to sprinkle salt to let the fluid from the zucchini leach out.
Here is our twist on the seaweed pesto with zucchini noodle, give it a go!
