- Wash and chop the zucchinis into small pieces.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the zucchini pieces for about 2 minutes.

- Pulse the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the pesto to a bowl and serve immediately or store it in an airtight container.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
