Creamy avocado and basil sauce with zoodle pasta

Once again...I love my spirilizer and zucchinis...so this is anther way to enjoy both. The creamy avocado, basil sauce is great! I had some fresh mint so added it as well, but it's not really required. The sauce goes great on top of eggs, or my Southwest Quinoa.

2 large zucchinis, spiralized

2 large ripe avocados, peeled and seeded

1/2 cup of fresh basil

1/4 cup of fresh mint (optional)

2-3 garlic cloves, depending on how garlicy you like it

1/3 cup of olive or avocado oil

pinch of cayenne pepper

3 tbsp of lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

Add all the ingredients, but the olive oil, for the sauce in a food processor. Process  until combined and season with salt and pepper. 

 

 Slowly drizzle in the olive/avocado oil until emulsified.

If you prefer a warm pasta dish. Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add a table spoon olive oil take a head of garlic and crush/squish (I know, a very technical term) it with a knife and toss it in the oil. Toss in your zoodles and cook for 3-4 min. Discard garlic clove.

Toss the zoodles in with your creamy avocado sauce, add in some corn (optional) and devour :)
