- Whisk lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, and pepper together in a small microwave safe bowl. Drizzle in olive oil and whisk until sauce emulsifies; Heat in microwave about 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the zoodles right before serving. Toss in sauce to gently coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and parsley and serve immediately with garlic bread, and white wine or beverage.
