Pesto Zucchini Pasta with Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Olives

Oh, zoodles, how I love you!  Yes. Really, I do. 

Zoodles! Love my zucchini noodles! So yummy and healthy in place pasta. Great Paleo recipe! | Tabler Party of Two | www.TablerPartyOfTwo.com

Lately I’ve been a bit lazy about pulling out my spiralizer. However, yesterday reminded me of just how much time it takes. Which is barely any!

Honestly, the time it takes you wash the zucchini, get out the spiralizer, and spiralize your perfect zucchini noodles is less than five minutes! Spiralizing is SO easy! | Tabler Party of Two | www.TablerPartyOfTwo.com

No longer will I be lazy because I like zoodles as much as I do pasta. I’m not sure how that works. It’s counterintuitive… zucchini compared to yummy pasta? But you’ll just have to trust me on this. Eating zoodles seems like eating the real deal. Maybe it’s because I’m all about the sauce anyway? Perhaps.

The other half of Tabler Party of Two would say he much prefers pasta. BUT… he does like zoodles, too.

Last night I whipped up this dish with some veggies and leftover grilled chicken I had on hand. Pesto Zucchini Pasta with Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Olives. 

It turned out exquisitely delish!

Pesto Zucchini Pasta! Paleo, healthy, delicious and nutritious, too. | Tabler Party of Two | www.TablerPartyOfTwo.comYUM!

Making delicious, nutritious and paleo friendly “pasta” dishes is simple once you get a spiralizer! My favorite is the Paderno World Cuisine Spiral Vegetable Slicer.

My favorite spriralizer... the Paderno World Cuisine Spiral Slicer

And this device can spiralize far more than zucchini! You can use the spiralizer to make noodles out of carrots, squash, beets and more. You can also use it make onion rings or potato rings for fries.

Do you have a spiralizer? If so, I’d LOVE to hear about your favorite healthy recipes!

    I’m with your other half, I would definitely prefer the pasta, so, no offense, but I would probably switch out the zucchini for the pasta, but I still find this recipe amazing! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I love zoodles too! I’ve just recently gotten addicted to the spriralizer and I love how it really does imitate noodles! And this chicken-tomato-mushroom version — swoon! Sounds great!
