Zucchini and Basil Pesto in Thermomix

Pesto is often thought to be unchanging: basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, olive oil... However, Italian cuisine itself, proud of its traditions, has never stopped adapting this iconic recipe to the seasons and regions. In Liguria, the birthplace of pesto, it’s common to find lighter, more vegetable-based variations — and sometimes surprising ones. This zucchini and basil pesto is a delicious example.
