Here’s what you’ll need

  • 1 PlantVita Hass Avocado, Ripe
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves

  • 2-3 zucchinis spiralized or cut into ¼ inch wide strips

Let’s get cooking: 

  1. Sauce: In a food processor, blend avocado, garlic, basil leaves and lemon juice until smooth, then mix in extra virgin olive oil. Add water, 1 tbsp. at a time, until the sauce reaches a fluid yet thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Zucchini Noodles: Sauté zoodles with a splash of olive oil over medium/high heat until slightly soft and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain excess water.
  3. Serve: Toss zoodles with sauce and top with your choice of vegan cheese.
