Zoodles, aka Zucchini Noodles, are my latest obsession! Its the healthy way to enjoy pasta without the heavy, bloated feeling many of us get after eating a big bowl of white, refinedpasta! Zoodles are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre and this recipe has a delicious “creamy” sauce made using avocado instead of cream and butter! Winning! Oh and its vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free!
Recipe: Creamy Avocado “Pasta” (aka Zucchini Noodles)
Ingredients:
- 6 zucchinis
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 garlic cloves
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
- 1 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbs nutritional yeast
Method:
- Wash zucchinis & remove ends.
- Using a Spiralizer (see the little green gadget in the pic…You can get one from most supermarkets or online), spiralize all the zucchinis & then cook on a non-stick fry pan (can use a dash of rice bran oil if needed) until softened.
- Peel & mash avocado & place into a small bowl. Mix in olive oil, nutritional yeast & fresh chopped basil leaves.
- Mince garlic & cook on pan. Add into avocado mix with lemon juice & mix until smooth.
- Stir creamy avocado sauce through cooked zucchini spirals & enjoy!
**For an extra health boost, add some more veggies through you zoodles. I love adding pumpkin, opinion, tomatoes & mushrooms. Simply cook the veggies and stir through ready made zoodles.
How many servings are there in this roughly?
Hi Natasha, it really depends on who is eating it, but I’d say about 3 serves roughly 🙂
