Notes

Basil is optional or can be replaced with a different herb such as parsley or thyme. 
As babies age, you want to add more texture. This puree can be easily mashed for a chunkier texture. 
I find you need 2 zucchinis for a larger blender to blend properly. If you have a smaller blender or plan to mash then you can half the recipe.
