Boil your favorite pasta until al dente. Drain and let it cool slightly to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Blend zucchini, basil, garlic, olive oil, and parmesan to create a smooth, vibrant pesto. Adjust seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a touch of garlic powder for extra depth. Adjust to your taste for a balanced flavor.
Lumache translates to “snails” in Italian due to their spiral, shell-like shape. Their deep curves are great for catching chunky sauces or baked dishes.
For extra flavor, mix in herbs like basil, parsley, or dill. These will enhance the overall taste, creating a well-balanced, savory dish.
Let the pasta salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This enhances the flavors and allows the pesto to marinate.
Serve hot with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad. This salmon and zucchini pasta is a wholesome, delicious meal perfect for any occasion.
