Zucchini spaghetti is smothered in a flavorful pesto sauce made creamy by adding avocado! This is so easy and so healthy!
Ingredients
1 large clamshell package of zucchini noodles/zoodles (or spiralize about 3 medium/large zucchini)
1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups fresh spinach
½ of an avocado
6 oz. basil pesto (or substitute your favorite pesto)
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large saute pan.
Add the zucchini and stir until it's how you like it -- I like mine a bit crunchy, so it only takes a few minutes.
In a blender, combine the spinach, avocado, and pesto.
Whiz it up until really creamy.
Put the zoodles in a large bowl.
Add as much of the sauce as you like. Toss well.
Season with salt and pepper.
Slurp it up and enjoy!
