Pesto Zucchini Noodles

Another great, low-carb substitute for noodles!

2-3 large zucchini
1/2 cup packed pesto leaves
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out inner seeds with a spoon. Slice the zucchini into 1/8th inch thin slices, then place in a colander. Sprinkle with several tablespoons salt and leave in the sink at least 30 minutes.

To make the pesto: Place remaining ingredients in a small blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Rinse the salt off the zucchini and let dry again. Heat a small skillet to medium, then spray with cooking olive oil. Throw in zucchini and saute 4-5 minutes. Pour in pesto and mix until all the zucchini is well-covered.
