We grow our own vegetables and every year we have a huge harvest of zucchini. I am always looking for new ideas as to what I can do with all our zucchini. I have taken the young ones and slice them in the length and then put them under the grill with cheese on top to melt. I have never tried it with a basil pesto sauce, so when I have lots of zucchini again, I will try your recipe.
