ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH PESTO AND ROASTED TOMATOES
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 awesome! Do I have to boil the zucchini or can I eat them raw? :-)

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 :)
