Zoodles with Minted Pesto

Oh, for the love of pesto. It’s a cinch to make and can transform simple food into a rather fancy dish. While I’ve already shared a couple of pesto recipes here on the blog (a basil version and a cilantro version), this minted pesto is definitely a must-try. It adds a refreshing and clean taste to an already drooly sauce.

In this recipe, I pair it with raw zucchini noodles (AKA zoodles). But, if you prefer yours cooked then heat up a little olive oil in a frypan, add your zoodles, and cook for several minutes until they’re soft.

Another tip? If you’re making this for kids, tell them it’s “green pasta” vs zucchini noodles!
