Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 small zucchini, cut into noodle-shape strands

  • ½ cup drained and rinsed canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

  • 3 tablespoons pesto, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons shredded white Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir zucchini in hot oil until tender and liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Stir garbanzo beans and pesto into zucchini; lower heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until garbanzo beans are warm and zucchini is evenly coated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Transfer zucchini mixture to serving bowls and top with white Cheddar cheese.

Cook's Note:

Use any sort of spiralizing device to make the zucchini into noodle shapes. I used the Paderno World Cuisine spiralizer.
