I didn’t like Feta Cheese in the TikTok Feta and tomato melt. This looks / sounds good and maybe the Feta will taste better with this. I’ll try this recipe soon.
I love this channel alot ❤️. Can I expect some South Indian recipes?
Love this recipe . Gonna try tomorrow 👌💐👌
Hey dear. You were out of channel for a long time. I always used to think what happened to you. Glad you are back with more recipes for us.
I'm gonna try this with mint leaves 💚
bail pesto and feta cheese…!🥹 It must be healthy and delicious!! I will definetely try this recipe. You deserve much more subscribers👍🏻
I just finished this exact recipe and am eating it as I write this comment. I couldn’t find basil so I used mint per the substitution notes. I was a bit more indulgent because I used cheese ravioli as my pasta. At first I was worried about the sauce because the mint flavor was too intense. But once mixed with the zucchini, it was perfectly balanced. My somewhat picky 9 year old brother loved it. So happy to sneak some veggies in! Thank you for the recipe. I wish I could send a photo as the green sauce looked so beautiful ❤
I just made it exactly with way you do!!! Was amazing! Thank you!
