This pesto zucchini "spaghetti" is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta dishes. With zucchini as the star ingredient, this dish is low in carbs and packed with nutrients. The zucchini is julienned to resemble spaghetti noodles, and then tossed with a flavorful combination of bacon, broccoli, spring onions, and basil pesto. The result is a fresh and flavorful dish that's perfect for a light lunch or side dish.
What really sets this dish apart is the addition of homemade basil pesto. The pesto adds a burst of flavor with its combination of fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. If you don't have time to make your own pesto, you can certainly use a store-bought variety, but I highly recommend giving homemade pesto a try. It's easier than you think and the flavor is truly exceptional.
This recipe is also incredibly versatile. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or proteins to make it your own. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu would all be delicious additions. And if you're looking for a vegan option, simply omit the bacon and Parmesan cheese. However you choose to enjoy it, this pesto zucchini "spaghetti" is a refreshing and nutritious dish that's sure to become a new favorite.
