Step 3

Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until they soften.

Spoon in the pesto and stir well then cook for just long enough to warm it up - then serve and enjoy the pesto zoodles with a few basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 5

You can cook (or heat) zoodles in several other ways, depending on your needs and in what recipes you will use them:- Boil/blanch - add to hot water for up to 3 minutes. - Roast in the oven - bake at 350ºF/180ºC for 12-15 minutes. - Air fry - similar to the above, cook them 350ºF/180ºC for 8-10 minutes.- Microwave - heat for 1 minute in the microwave.- Dehydrate - for a crunchy snack, dry them at 125ºF/52ºC for 6-8 hours (or overnight).Check the blog post for more top tips for each method!
