Ingredients
- 3 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups fresh peas
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Use a spiralizer to convert the zucchini into noodles, or 'zoodles'. Set them aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing until golden brown and fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add fresh peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are vibrant green and tender.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss with the peas and garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender yet still firm.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh basil leaves. Toss everything to combine.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve the Whole30 Pasta with Peas immediately as a side or light main course. Enjoy while warm.
