Chef's Tips

Cook zucchini noodles for only 1 to 2 minutes so they stay springy.

Salt the noodles after cooking to avoid excess water in the pan.

Warm the pesto with residual heat instead of boiling it.

Recipe Variations

Add grilled shrimp for extra protein.

Use dairy-free pesto to keep the dish dairy-free.
