Creamy pesto with fresh zucchini noodles. These are a healthy, low carb, paleo and gluten free alternative to regular noodles. You won't even miss the pasta! Arguably the best zoodle recipe out there.

It’s official. I’m an addict. I can’t seem to stop making zoodle recipes.  They are just an easy veggie to work with, they emulate regular noodles so well that you hardly notice a difference when you swap them for traditional spaghetti noodles in your favorite dishes.  The fact they can can be served raw or cooked opens up even more opportunities to experiment with new and tasty dishes!

With 1/8 of the carbs and an 1/8 of the calories, you would be remiss not to give zoodles a shot. Swap them out for regular noodles the next time you make your favorite pasta dish and see what all the fuss is about!

No carbs…no gluten…just a giant bowl of gorgeous green zoodles ready to be manipulated into a fresh and flavorful meal that will leave your belly full and your taste-buds happy.
