Ingredients
1 1/2 c. basil leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 c. mint, plus more for serving
1/4 c. shelled, toasted pistachios, plus more for serving
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 tbsp. lemon juice

1/4 c. 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 zucchini, very thinly sliced (2 c.)
12 oz. spaghetti

Instructions
Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
In food processor, pulse together basil, mint, pistachios, lemon zest and juice, Parmesan, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. With motor running, add in 1/4 cup olive oil until it reaches creamy consistency.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in large sauté pan. Saute zucchini for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Add spaghetti to boiling water and let cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
Return spaghetti to pot and toss with pesto, zucchini, and 1/2 cup of cooking water. Add an additional 1/4 cup if you would like creamier pasta.
Serve spaghetti in bowls with additional torn mint and basil, chopped pistachios, and grated Parmesan.
