Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 cup half-and-half
-
3 tablespoons refrigerated basil pesto (such as Buitoni)
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 cups multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved
-
4 cloves garlic, sliced
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups broccoli florets
-
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
-
1 cup matchstick carrots
-
2 (10 ounce) packages spiralized zucchini noodles (about 6 cups; see Tip)
-
¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions
-
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; whisk until smooth. Add half-and-half; cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken. Add pesto; whisk until combined. Remove from heat; set aside.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, garlic and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and the garlic is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrots and the pesto mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli softens, about 4 minutes. Add zucchini noodles; toss gently to combine. Cook, gently tossing constantly, until the mixture is hot and the zoodles are coated with sauce, about 2 minutes. Divide evenly among 4 bowls; top with Parmesan and basil.
Tips
Tip: Look for packages of fresh zucchini noodles in the produce department, or make your own zucchini noodles; you'll need about 2 large zucchini for 6 cups of "zoodles."

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
