Zucchini Pasta with Pesto Sauce
Ingredients:
6 zucchinis
1 large clove garlic, peeled
2 cups loosely packed arugula
1 cup loosely packed basil
¼ cup pine nuts
½ tsp sea salt half
½ tsp freshly ground black black pepper
1 large ripe avocado
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3-5 Tbsp water
Coconut or olive oil spray
Process zucchinis through a spiralizer and set aside. Pulse the garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the arugula, basil, pine nuts, salt and pepper to the food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer the chopped greens mixture to a large bowl. Add the avocado, lemon juice and 3 tablespoons water to the food processor and blend until smooth. Add the avocado mixture to the bowl with the chopped greens. In a pan, lightly coat with spray oil. Sauté the spiralized zucchini noodles for 1 to 2 minutes until just heated through. Toss the avocado and green mixture with the cooked zucchini, adding extra water one tablespoon at a time if needed to thin out the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped basil. Enjoy!
