Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 6 large zucchini's spiralized
  • 2 avocados
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemons juiced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

TOPPINGS

  • parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Spiralize your zucchini or purchase from your local grocery store pre-spiralized zucchini.
  • Pat zucchini noodles dry with paper towels after spiralizing them.
  • After patting dry, place the spiralized zucchini ‘zoodles’ in a colander over the sink and toss with salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes. The salt will bring out the water. After 30 minutes, squeeze the zoodles gently to release some additional water.
  • Meanwhile in a food processor or blender add the avocado, spinach, garlic, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt + pepper and pulse until smooth.
  • Cook the zoodles over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
  • Now add the avocado sauce mixture mixing all together with kitchen tongs. Heat on medium low heat until warm for about 3 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and place in a bowl and top with parmesan cheese.
