Step 1

In a food processor, add all the ingredients for the Avocado Pesto... avoacdo, basil, garlic, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, water, lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Process until well combined and creamy. Adjust flavors to your liking. Set aside.

Step 3

Now for the Zucchini Noodles! Here are the noodles I used that I picked it up from Whole Foods for $5.

Step 4

Chop the garlic and slice the cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

Heat a pan on medium heat, once hot, add extra virgin olive oil.

Step 6

Add crushed red pepper. Heat for 5-10 seconds.

Step 7

Once it sizzles, add the garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the cherry tomatoes slightly brown.

Step 8

Add the zucchini.

Step 9

Using tongs, toss the zucchini until they soften. This process will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 10

This is what you should have. Cooked zoodles!

Step 11

Now add 3/4's of the avocado pesto to the zoodles - you can add more if need be.

Step 12

Coat the noodles well and top with parmesan if you like. This dish tastes best when served immediately.
