    I got a new toy, my spiralizer and I love it!  I made zucchini noodles a few years ago for my cookbook but these came out so much prettier!  

    I could eat pesto every day and be very happy. I love how you can make pesto so many various ways and they will have completely different flavors.

    If you are looking for more delicious recipes with pesto, you will love these Low Carb Cheesy Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Squash Noodles with Kale Arugula Pesto and definitely this Walnut Pesto Toast with Pears and Gorgonzola!

    These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

    Why You Should Make These Zucchini Noodles with Sundried Tomato Pesto

    This recipe is so customizable. You can add chicken or shrimp or mix up the type of pesto you want to make.

    Just as with any pesto recipe, you can use whatever nuts or seeds you'd like and whatever cheese you like (my Simple Pesto recipe).  Get creative because pesto is awesome any way it's prepared.  

    I used both yellow and green squash to make these "noodles".  You literally put the vegetable in one end, turn the crank and voila!  

    It comes out curly and super cool.  These noodles taste delicious and are low carb, low calorie, naturally gluten-free and vegan.  

    Pro tip: you can but already spiralized zucchini, beet, sweet potato, carrot etc. noodles in many grocery stores.

    I knew I had to make a pesto with sundried tomatoes because I love them so much.
