ZUCCHINI PESTO PASTA SAUCE

THISS!!! Pesto usually requires a whole lotta oil, now don't get me wrong i love me a olive oil basil pesto but sometimes i want the pesto without the heaviness of the oil and so i tried this out! Roasted zucchini adds bulk but also creaminess and it still has the feel of pesto! OH and the mint makes it super fresh and fun!
