"When cut into long strands using a spiralizer, zucchini makes a delicious stand-in for pasta in this light and flavorful dish. You will have some pesto left over. Save it to toss with your favorite sautéed or raw vegetables, or thin it with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil and use it to dress a green salad...."
