CindyA Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 From Everyday health: Recipe of the Day: Here's a dish that lets you enjoy the great taste of pesto without all the carbs and heaviness of a pasta meal. With just three main ingredients (plus salt and pepper) this simple Roasted Zucchini and Pesto is a perfect go-to on a night when you need a quick side dish that's light on calories but big on flavor. Here, fresh summer zucchini is simply oven-roasted and then mixed with pesto and olive oil — and that’s it, you’re done! If you don’t feel like turning on the oven, you can also grill the zucchini (use long slices that can be chopped into 1-inch chunks after grilling) which adds some delicious charred flavor to the mix. (Note: We recommend using freshly-made pesto over canned varieties.) Ingredients 2 pounds zucchini, (4 medium) trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 tablespoon oil, olive, extra-virgin 2 tablespoon pesto salt, to taste pepper, black ground, to taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
