- Wash zucchinis thoroughly and use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create thin noodles or ribbons. Set aside in a large bowl.

- Add the prepared pesto to the zucchini noodles and toss gently until the noodles are evenly coated. You can lightly warm the noodles in a pan for 1-2 minutes if preferred, but it's not necessary.
