  • Summary

    Using a large volume of spiralized zucchini in lieu of some of the spaghetti here adds flavor, texture, and color to this pasta. It also makes it a little lighter on the appetite (not to mention the calories). Using store-bought pesto embellished with a generous squeeze of Meyer lemon is an easy way to deliver flavor to this quick weekday dish.

    Ingredients

    • 8 ounces spaghetti
    • 2 large zucchini
    • 4 to 6 tablespoons pesto
    • 1/2 Meyer lemon (or conventional lemon)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Parmesan cheese to pass at the table
