Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut off the ends. Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchinis into long, noodle-like strands.

  2. 2

    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently using tongs. Sauté for just 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp (al dente). Avoid overcooking to prevent sogginess.

  4. 4

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the basil pesto over the noodles and toss until every strand is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while warm, or chill for a refreshing cold pasta salad alternative.
