Some people have a misconception that due to the fat and calorie contents of avocado it would cause weight gain, it is actually the opposite. The good fats in avocados have so many benefits that it actually helps in weight loss, absorbs other nutrients, boosts eye and heart health, lowers cholesterol, reduces risks of certain cancers, eases arthritis symptoms and is great for the skin!
Today I made healthy noodles by spiraling Zucchini's (check out my zoodles post if you haven't already). The sauce is what makes this dish so hearty and delicious.
For the Zoodles:
2 zucchini's (large) spiral them and keep them on tissue paper so the water drains.
For
the AvoPesto Sauce:
1 large avocado
1 cup basil
¼ cup pine
seeds
2TBSP olive
oil
1 or 2
limes (depends on your taste)
2 garlic
cloves
Water as
needed (for consistency)
Salt and
pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in the food processor
Add the Zucchini noodles on a heated skillet for two minutes (i like it to be warm but it is perfect to skip this step and eat it raw).
Pour the zucchini noodles in a big bowl, add the AvoPesto sauce and mix in.
Put it on your plate, garnish with some grated cashews (fake Parmesan haha) and devour!!
Note: I like it just the way it is, but if you are making this dish for kids i would suggest you add this to some brown rice spaghetti :)
