Subbed pine nuts for pepitas b/c that is what I had on hand but would love to try this with pepitas next time! Used store-bought, pre-prepared yellow zucchini noodles. Also, once I had prepared the pesto and coated the noodles, I put everything into a sauté pan to heat it up a bit before serving. On this cold winter night, I felt like enjoying this dish warm. It was a definite hit!

Really delish, I do put a dollop of the pesto in a frying pan and heat the zucchini through to lightly cooked. Love your recipes and have had a lot of success with them, thank you!

What a fantastic recipe! So reminiscent of pasta al pesto, yet so much more refreshing and light! I made the arugula pesto version (plus fresh basil leaves scattered on each plate). I used a mandolin with a “medium cut blade” attachment and it was super easy. Everyone loved it. Thank you Kate, thank you Heather! Will do it again all summer!

So delicious – everyone in the family loved it, including my picky 9-year-old and skeptical, meat-loving husband.

Having this now and it is amazing! The only changes I made were that I roasted my tomatoes before adding and I added grilled halloumi cheese for protein (and because halloumi cheese). The pesto is totally the star of this dish though. SO good.

In reply to Shelley. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad the pesto was great the second day and that it won over your daughter!

This was delicious! I had made the pesto the day before. When I got the zucchini ready with my spiral, I heated it up quick in a bit of butter and added the pesto and tomatoes, thinking my daughter would find that more palatable. Well, my daughter, a picky 10 year old who “never wants to eat pesto again”, really liked it. Ate it up without the usual slow distracted eating she does when she barely likes something. I also made the lentil soup which my daughter also really liked, and I really liked as well. Will definitely make both of these dishes again. Loving this site.

In reply to David. Hi David! No water in this recipe. Sorry the picture looks like that. It's just the measuring line on the food processor. Thanks for your comment!
