2. Next, in a large skillet over medium heat add garlic, lemon juice, and spiralized zucchini.
3. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes (it will cook fast!) or until zucchini has softened slightly.
4. Next, add your pesto, jackfruit, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and stir until all ingredients are well combined and coated with pesto.
