Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce

This Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce is a light tasty dinner loaded with a creamy avocado sauce. Vegan and Gluten Free.

Zoodles together with Avocados are everything I love all on one plate. So I knew I had to experiment and come up with a recipe that made this happen.

This Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce has done that.

Zoodles are quickly becoming one of my favorite go to when craving something requiring noodles. And you can almost always find an avocado at my house.

This sauce is a little bit different and I wasn’t sure how we were going like it. But my husband said it was awesome and so here you have it on the blog.

The only thing about my blogging is, I’m always trying to come up with new recipes so I may not make this one again as soon as he would like.

But in order to save an avocado and some basil it may happen sooner.

While you’re preparing the Zoodles you can just slowly roast some little grape tomatoes with olive oil and garlic.

I always love roasted veggies. You could always just roast up a few extra and have them ready for some other recipes.

And here are a few of my other favorite Zoodle Recipes:

1. Parmesan Grilled Zoodles
2. Zucchini Spinach Alfredo

I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and give these Zoodles with Avocado Cream sauce a try.
