Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups zucchini noodles (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 large ripe avocado

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the zucchini noodles: Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis. Set aside.
  • Make the avocado sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Toss the pasta: In a large bowl, mix the zucchini noodles with the avocado sauce until fully coated.
  • Add optional toppings: Fold in cherry tomatoes and sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Serve immediately: Garnish with extra basil or Parmesan (if not vegan). Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a warm dish, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 1-2 minutes before tossing with the sauce.

  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.

  • Store leftover sauce separately in an airtight container for up to 2 days
