Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the pine nuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add spiralized turnips and beets to the skillet. Toss to evenly coat in the oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles begin to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Remove skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped spinach. Cover to keep warm.
  5. Place the toasted pine nuts in a small food processor and pulse until crumbly. Add the basil, dill, leeks, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest, and pulse until everything is finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Add the olive oil and blend until the pesto is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Lightly coat a medium skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Fry the eggs until cooked to your liking, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Transfer spiralized vegetables to a large bowl and toss with the pesto until evenly coated. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Divide the noodles between three plates, top each with a fried egg, and garnish with a sprinkle of pine nuts, if desired.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
