Our Spring Herbs and Greens Pasta recipe isn’t actually made from pasta.
It’s made from slicing zucchini into noodles (zoodles) which is most easily accomplished with a vegetable spiralizer, but can also be accomplished carefully with a knife or vegetable peeler. This Paleo pasta salad recipe gets a fresh flavor from fresh spring herbs, but dried herbs could also be used in a pinch.
