With the vacation it has been almost three weeks since I last visited the local farmers market and I am really starting to miss it! No matter, the grocery stores are still full of local produce including lots of cheap zucchini and I knew just what I could use some for. This zucchini pistou recipe, originally from from Cooking Light, has been making its way around the food blogging sphere and it seemed a really nice way to enjoy some fresh zucchini. A pistou is similar to a pesto and since pestos can be made from many different ingredients, why not a zucchini pistou? I particularly like the way that this recipe includes zucchini in two different forms, both pureed in the pistou and sliced in the pasta for lots of zucchini goodness. For the pasta I went with penne noodles as whenever I make a zucchini pasta I like to cut the zucchini in roughly the same shape and size of the penne noodles. This zucchini pistou is really easy to make and a perfect way to use up some of your remaining zucchini!
