Preparation: Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer.

Adding tomatoes: Introduce the cherry tomatoes to the skillet.

Pesto incorporation: Stir in the pesto sauce and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Final cooking: Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes, ensuring the zucchini is well coated with the pesto.

Seasoning: Season the mixture with Himalayan pink salt and both black and red pepper to taste.

Plating and garnishing: Transfer the zucchini mixture to serving bowls and garnish with grated parmesan cheese.
