Description
Zoodles with Pesto is a fresh, low-carb dish made from spiraled zucchini noodles quickly warm-tossed in fragrant basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Light, nutritious, and ready in under 15 minutes, it is a healthy summer favorite.
A Taste of History
Pesto traces its origins to Genoa in the Liguria region of Northern Italy, evolving from ancient Roman herb pastes into classic Pesto alla Genovese in the 19th century. In the 2010s, the rise of countertop spiralizers transformed zucchini into "zoodles," creating a contemporary, low-carb vessel for this centuries-old Italian sauce.
