Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchini

2 ripe avocados

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create long strands of zucchini noodles. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture.

    Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocados, minced garlic, basil leaves, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Toss the Noodles: After the zucchini noodles have released moisture, gently pat them dry with a paper towel. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini noodles with the creamy avocado sauce. Mix well until all the noodles are evenly coated.

        Add the Extras: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes for freshness and color. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes to add a flavorful kick.

          Serve: Divide the zucchini pasta into bowls and garnish with additional basil leaves or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Enjoy immediately as a fresh, light meal or side dish!
