Zucchini pasta with shrimp & pesto

Savory Zucchini Pasta Recipe

So Simple, So Delicious

By: Joi

This yummy zucchini pasta recipe (can also be vegetarian by removing the shrimp OR fully raw vegan by making your own pesto) is an extremely filling and nutritious alternative to other pastas, this is by far one of my favorite zucchini pastas (because NO wet noodles!)

Because when you think “zucchini recipes” you typically think zucchini bread, or zucchini muffins right?  Well this if for you more savory lovers.

Even my kids love this, and it is a repeat dinner at our house!
