Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 zucchinis
  • 12 oz. grape tomatoes
  • 2 slices bacon (chopped, see notes for substitutions)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (or more to taste)

Instruction

  • Start by making the pesto: add all ingredients to a small blender or food processor and pulse until smooth (add more water 1 tbsp at a time if needed); set aside.
  • Next, add bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. While those are cooking, run the zucchini through your spiralizer to create zucchini noodles.
  • Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and use kitchen tongs to stir so that they're warm but not soggy, 1-2 minutes. Pour the pesto into the skillet and toss until the noodles are coated.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
