Ingredients
6 large zucchini, spiralized
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
For the Sauce:
2 ripe avocados
1 cup fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp. sea salt
3 Tbsp olive oil
Cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1: Prepare Your Zucchini
We used a spiralizer to make long, skinny noodles, but if you don’t have one, a chef knife, mandolin, or potato peeler works just as well. Either way you slice it, place your freshly cut “noodles” on a paper towel after, so that any excess water is soaked up.
2: Make the Sauce
To a food processor, add avocados, basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt. Then, pulse until everything is blended well and creamy.
3: Cook Your Zoodles
Over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil into a large skillet and add your zucchini noodles. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender.
4: Combine
Add your zucchini noodles to a large bowl and toss with the creamy avocado pesto sauce. Sprinkle with cracked pepper and parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
Bon Appetito!
