My obsession with zucchini noodles continues with this summer favorite! It’s a flavor explosion featuring two of my summer staples: pesto & roasted cherry tomatoes. YUM to the max. There’s nothing better than enjoying a giant bowl of noodles and not feeling like you have to be rolled into bed. Sorry spaghetti, we’ve broken up for good! Hope you love as much as I do! xx- Sarah {recipe and more after the jump!}
ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH PESTO AND ROASTED TOMATOES
Serves 2
Ingredients:
4- 5 medium zucchinis
1 pint cherry tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pesto (recipe here)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
sea salt and pepper
Method:
– Preheat oven to 250 degrees
– Clean and halve one pint of cherry tomatoes and toss in a splash of extra virgin olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle with a generous dash of sea salt and spread on a cookie sheet, seed side up.
– Roast tomatoes for 90 minutes
– Use a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles (stop peeling when you get down to the seeds)
– In a large mixing bowl combine noodles with two tablespoons of pesto (more to your preference) and mix well.
– To serve: divide noodles into two bowls, top with cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
– Enjoy!
This looks so yummy! I want to see if I can get my bf to eat vegan!

This looks awesome! Do I have to boil the zucchini or can I eat them raw? 🙂
Thanks ladies! @Julia- definitely raw!! 🙂
This dish looks absolutely stunning! An eye-catcher.
This looks so delicious! I've never tried the zucchini noodle-thing but this recipe makes me want to try this!!

Wow, beautiful! I love the look of those roasted tomatoes, and anything with pesto is a sure favourite for me.
What a gorgeous meal!
I literally have cherry tomatoes slow-roasting in the oven right now!! I do them at night to avoid the heat.
This is exactly my kind of food 🙂
Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables, and I can only imagine how delicious it tastes with roasted tomatoes and pesto – yum!
I am making this as we speak & I am waiting on the tomatoes to finish roasting 🙂
I'm planning on refrigerating overnight and eating it for work tomorrow, would you recommend mixing the pesto into the dish tomorrow instead of overnight?
This looks so yummy! As a vegetarian I've been trying to up my vegetables and reduce my reliance on heavy carbs lately – this is the perfect answer!
I gotta try this! Thank you for the lovely recipe. x
Yum! Love zucchini, so this would be a fantastic recipe for me to try. So healthy and fresh!
I just ordered a julienne peeler…
Thankfifi
I purchased one at Bed bath and Beyond for less than $13 with my 20% off coupon. It’s the Veggetti as seen on TV. Very easy to use. Just turn the zucchini in the hole and it juliennes like magic. I was using a julienne vegetable peeler begone this and it hurt my fingers. It also took too long.
Zucchini noodles is something I have yet to try but always wanted to! This looks and sounds amazing, Sarah!
I'll definitely be trying this healthy mid-week meal. Looks so satisfying!

WOW! I'll be right over….this looks amazing. 🙂
I did saut the noodles for a few minutes before we ate, but didn't change anything else and it was delicious! The noodles still had some crunch to them, but I liked them a bit more warm. Thanks!
I’m going to do the same for 4 mins.
Just made this. So good! Thanks!
Oh this looks fab! I fell out of love with pasta a long time ago….Im gonna make this for my lunch ! MMmm 🙂
So pretty i love the marriage of these two pretty colours. Me looking out for a good brand of julienne peeler for some time.
Lovely clicks.

Hey.. Thanks for that recipe of zucchini noodles… I really loved the way you presented it… felt like eating it.. I am a BIG fan of maggi . But I like Maggi cup noodles more as it is very easy to cook. You just need to add hot water and your delicious Maggi noodles is ready to eat in 5 minutes!!! But whenever I get time I used to cook noodles at home itself.
The recipe looks amazing! But im still not sure about eating things raw, so can i boil them or would that ruin everything ?
