Instructions to make Zucchini pasta in creamy pesto sauce:
- Spiralize your zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer you can use a peeler and just have thicker noodles
- Put in a large mixing bowl and add chopped tomatoes, seasonings, lemon juice and pesto sauce. Dont stir in yet!
- I like to mix ingredients in with my hands to cover all the noodles. When I add the avocado I smoosh it in my hand first to make it into a thick cream. Mix everything together.
- Zucchini noodles are meant to be eaten raw, however, I do not like cold pasta. Just quickly heat in a pan on the stove for about a minute for a nice hot meal
- Enjoy!
