Zucchini Pasta With Pesto (This recipe surprised Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri)

Today we’re preparing my award winning Zucchini pasta with pesto sauce. The pesto is actually a mix of basil and mint, lending it a fresh garden flavor. The “pasta” is 100% zucchini, but you won’t even be able to tell the difference. This is also a perfect dish for all my Keto lovers out there.
