Pesto is one of my favorite Italian sauces. I love the strong flavors of the basil, garlic and Parmesan cheese together! Had a craving for something healthy last night, so instead of eating my pesto with pasta I made zucchini "noodles". They are a great way to trick your mind, avoid the carbs and sneak in extra veggies! Lately I've been doing almost all of my food shopping at Trader Joe's . It's close to home (I can walk there), inexpensive and they carry plenty of organic and gourmet items. Everything you see below was purchased at TJ's, minus the pasta noodles (for the boyfriend), Himalayan salts and black pepper.
