  RAW & VEGAN ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Zucchini noodles seem to be all the rage, as I have seen several different recipes that I would love to try. I don't yet own a spiralizer, but when I get one I look forward to trying this recipe from "Elephantastic". Be creative with your gluten free diet and try noodles made from veggies instead of alternative grains. Vegetables have less calories and more nutrition.

COOK TIME: 30 mins

TOTAL TIME: 30 mins

Author: Elephantastic

Serving size: 1

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Wash and spiralize your zucchini using a capitalized.
  2. Put the spiralized zucchini in a large bowl, sprinkle half of the salt over the zucchini and give it a good mix. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile peel the avocado, remove the seed and put it in a blender or food processor - mix it with the rest of the salt, the lemon juice and ground pepper until it's a smooth Avocado Cream. Taste it and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.
  4. After 20 minutes the zucchini should have lost quite a bit of its water - drain it and put it back in the bowl.
  5. Add the Avocado Cream and give it a good mix.
  6. Put the Zucchini Pasta on a plate and enjoy.

If you want to make this recipe for more servings, I'd recommend using 1 large zucchini per person.
