Creating and Serving the Pesto Zoodles

  1. First, using a spiralizer, create Zoodles (Zucchini noodles) from the Zucchini.
  2. Next, heat an All-Clad, Nonstick Skillet to medium-high heat and drizzle in the Olive Oil.
  3. Then, when the skillet is hot, throw in the Zoodles and spread out as best you can.
    • Note: This will help the Zoodles get browned and crispy (instead of soft and watery).
  4. Next, season the Zoodles with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes.
  5. Then, throw in the sliced mushrooms, asparagus, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper, and saute for about 2 minutes.
  6. Next, add the Spinach Walnut Pesto. Using a spatula, incorporate the Pesto throughout the other vegetables.
  7. Then, add the Parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate.
  8. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add fresh Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
