Fantastic recipe. I turned this into a meal by serving with spaghetti and using more pesto and lemon that called for, so that we had enough to go with the pasta. I am definitely going to do that again. I made a batch of the EatingWell Basic Basil Pesto and then squeezed in a whole lemon. I followed the rest of this recipe as written. I used Allepo pepper for the red pepper and really like how that gave the dish a nice mellow burn. The only issue I had was cutting the zucchini too thick so when I tried to smash them, they weren't cooked enough and hard to smash. If you run into that issue, I would just cook them a bit longer to make sure they're nice and soft before trying to smash.
