Zoodles are a great way to replace traditional pasta without sacrificing texture or flavor. Not only is zucchini incredibly good for you, zoodles taste amazing with all sorts of sauces and only take a few minutes to cook.

This recipe for Pesto Zucchini Noodles with Bacon is a perfect low-carb recipe that is full of flavor. If you prefer not to use regular bacon, feel free to substitute for the turkey or veggie varieties.

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI NOODLES:

Trim both the ends of the zucchini and cut in half. There is no need to peel the zucchini. Just clean it properly to remove all the dirt and soil from the surface. 

Then using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into curly, fun noodles. It is such a great kitchen tool! We love it and the kids love to watch too!

If you don’t have an spiralizer or other zucchini noodle maker, you can use a julienne peeler or mandolin. KitchenAid also makes a stand mixer attachment that makes zoodles.

HOW DO YOU MAKE PESTO ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH BACON?

For this recipe, you will start by slicing 1 large zucchini using a spiralizer, set aside. Chop 4 slices of preferred bacon into bite-size pieces.  

Cook bacon fully, then remove from pan (I prefer to place mine on a paper towel to soak up some grease.)

Next, in a microwave safe bowl, cook zucchini noodles for 4-5 minutes, or until they become tender (I cook at 1 minute intervals).

Toss the noodles with ⅓ cup of pesto, bacon and 2 chopped tomatoes.
