Spaghetti and Spiralized Zucchini with Lemony Pesto LOWER CARB

Spaghetti and Spiralized Zucchini with Lemony Pesto

 

Ingredients:

8 ounces spaghetti

2 large zucchini

4 to 6 tablespoons pesto

1/2 Meyer lemon (or conventional lemon)

Salt and pepper to taste

Parmesan cheese to pass at the table

 

Instructions:

 

1.  Bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Just before draining, scoop out 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and set aside.

 

2.  While the pasta cooks, use the thinnest setting to spiralize the zucchini.

 

3.  Set a colander in the sink and drain the pasta.

 

4.  Immediately put the spiralized zucchini into the empty pasta cooking pot and dump the hot spaghetti on top (the heat of the pot and pasta will soften the zucchini). Toss well.  Add the pasta cooking water and pesto (adjusting the amount according to taste). Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.

 

5.  Serve immediately with Parmesan to pass at the table.
