Zucchini Pasta |
Zucchini pasta is a gluten free, vegan pasta. It’s great for kids who are picky eaters. Zucchini has lots of vitamins. It is low in calories and contains no saturated fats. This makes it ideal for people who are watching their weight.
I’ve tried zucchini pasta with different sauces and ingredients and every time it tastes great. My favorite one is the pesto sauce recipe is below.
Prep time : Ten minutes
Cook time : Five minutes
