So yummy! Easy to make, super light and refreshing. I modified a few things:
I laid the zoodles with paper towel to absorb some moisture, used a mix of fresh basil and fresh oregano, omit salt, added castelvetrano olives and hemp seeds. Definitely will make this again!

I've made ALOT of veggie noodles over the course of the year(2018-2019).....I will DEFINITELY be making more of these types of recipes

This was delicious! I used 3 cloves of garlic, next time I will use two instead. I sautéed the zoodles before tossing with the pesto. I made some grilled chicken breasts to go along with this and topped with some of the pesto.

It turned out good... I think I needed more basil. I don’t think I bought enough... it was really easy... I had to buy a spriralizer. But quick & easy...

I think next time I won’t put ALL of the pesto at one time... it was a little goopy/soupy; however, the taste was amazing!! Still next time, I will add the pesto a little at a time. 😁

I added onions to the blend & shiitake mushrooms cut small to the mix + a tbsp of bought pesto and a pinch of garlic salt (instead of salt). Then I cooked it all together in a pan on high heat with lots of tossing and stirring (to heat it up perfectly and not over cook the zoodles). Then I had myself a hot plate of zucchini-pasta (zoodles) with homemade "cashew-basil-pesto". It was DELICIOUS! Saving it and making it again for sure. Thank you!

Lovely! Very tasty and good reviews from the meat lovers in the family (including me!). This is for two people not four so some tweaking needed. Also hard to tell when told 2 zucchinis how much that is as it depends on how big they are. So play with it but go for it!

This came out ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 😍 I wouldn't change anything about this recipe, and I LOVE that it took me a total of about 12 minutes to put together from start to eat!! 😄 2 Thumbs Up and I'd give it 10 stars if I could!! ❤

This pesto is so yummy and creamy! I really enjoyed it! I did add some red pepper flakes because I like a touch of heat to my pasta! 😊 I give this recipe 2 thumbs up! 👍🏾👍🏾 Thank you!

I didn't enjoy it too much. It was more oil than I expected. I tried it with a different pesto and it's better.

Truly italian pesto! Taste is a little spicy and intensive. I added also dried tomatoes and pine nuts.

This was absolutely delicious! I prepared dinner for a healthy vegan low carb choice. My fiancé loved it so much & I'm happy I can make pesto from scratch!
