- Spiralize the zucchini or use a grater with the zucchini lengthwise to get longer strands. Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook the zucchini for 4 minutes using tongs to stir and rotate until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Toss the warm zucchini with the pesto, sprinkle with the crushed red child pepper flakes (optional) and divide into pasta bowls. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
