    I think I've found my new favorite pesto recipe and I'm so excited to share it with you.

    Zucchini Spiralized Noodles with Sundried Tomato Pesto | Lauren Kelly NutritionI 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!  Look how fun (and easy) this is...

    Zucchini Spiralized Noodles with Sundried Tomato PestoI 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.  My kind of perfect.

    Just as with any pesto recipe, you can use whatever nuts or seeds you'd like (check out my Pumpkin Seed Pesto) and whatever cheese you like (my Simple Pesto recipe).  Get creative because pesto is awesome any way it's prepared.  Case closed.  I haven't met a pesto I didn't love.

      I love my spiralizer too, it's gotten so much action since I picked it up. So far the only sauces on it have been green pestos and tomato sauce but but now I need to try it with sun dried- tomato pesto. Yum!

      I love to make basil pesto, but sun dried tomato sounds yummy! I have a gift card to Williams Sonoma and I think a spiralizer is calling my name...

      I love using zucchini noodles. However, I bought a different spiralizer on the advice of a different health blogger, and I don't love mine. The only size option is tiny (much like angel hair pasta....maybe even smaller) so it tears & breaks so easily when tossing with sauce/pesto. It also spiralizes the entire squash at once -- including the center, which makes the result very watery. I love the size of this one so much more! Does it also let you stop before you get to the watery, seedy center? Thanks so much!

        I highly recommend this one Judy! The noodles comes out more like a spaghetti than an angel hair. I hope you like it!
