This primavera recipe cuts carbs by swapping out the pasta for zucchini "noodles." This quick vegetarian dinner is chock-full of colorful vegetables smothered in a light, creamy sauce. We like using prepackaged spiralized zucchini noodles to keep this recipe ultra-fast, but if you have a spiralizer and zucchini on hand, you can easily make your own.
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
