Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer.

Peel the zucchini if desired, then spiralize it until you reach the seeds in the center.

Reserve the seeds for future use in broth.

Heat a pan over high heat and add a bit of salt and lemon juice to the zucchini noodles.

Sauté the zucchini noodles for 1 minute to remove excess water, then transfer to a colander to drain.

For the pesto, add toasted pine nuts, a handful of fresh basil, one clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, and a generous drizzle of olive oil into a blender.

Blend until the mixture is chunky, not fully smooth, to keep some texture.

In the heated pan, add a bit of olive oil, then add the drained zucchini noodles back into the pan.

Remove from heat and mix in the pesto until well coated.
