That's right, zoodles: zucchini noodles. A low- carb alternative for pasta, that doesnt leave you feeling like you just ate an entire house of bricks.

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis (made into noodles using a spiraliser or a spaghetti peeler)

A little bit of water

1 cup of fresh basil leaves

2 cloves of garlic

1 freshly squeeze lemon

Salt to taste

1/3 cup pine nuts

500g Chicken tenderloins

garlic salt

Seasoned salt to taste.

Method

1/ Preheat oven to 250c.

2/ To cook chicken tenders: Place chicken on an oven tray with a large piece of foil. Season well or marniade the day before. Create a pocket folding all the sides to the centre. Cook for 20 min.

3/ To make zuchini pasta, simple add to a frypan, with a little bit of water (probably about 2 tbsp. Gently stir while it cooks for 10 min on medium high to ensure it cooks evenly. Don't let it overcook! It should be perfectly cooked like real pasta :) Once it's cooled down for 5 min put it in a sift and let it drain the water for about 10 min.

4/ To make Paleo Pesto: add basil leaves, freshly crushed garlic, lemon juice, pine nuts and salt (soz forgot to mention it in the video... x) Blend using a small food processor or just do it in a mortar and pestle. If you dont have either, just use a good old chopping board and a large knife and chop for yo life son.

5/ To serve: add pesto to zucchini pasta and mix gently until it's mixed in well. Put roughly chopped chicken on top and garnish with fresh basil leaves, It's done! YUM!
