I almost forgot that my spiralizer existed. While cleaning my pantry I spotted it sitting lonely up on the top shelf. I promised myself to use it the next week. If you meal plan or prep ahead of time, this dish can come together in five minutes. Otherwise it might take a good twenty minutes or so; Choose wisely. With no cooking at all, this dish is good way to feel like you are having a big bowl of pasta without the guilt.
Ingredients (for 2-3 people)
3 zucchini, spiralized
1 to 1 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 ball of burrata
Pesto

1-2 cloves of garlic (or more, don’t let me stop you)
1/3 cup of toasted nuts (you can use pine nuts, pistachios, almonds or walnuts. Do YOU)

Chopped pistachios to garnish
