Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce (Vegan, Gluten Free)

These Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce are a light tasty dinner loaded with a Creamy Avocado sauce & then topped with Roasted grape tomatoes. Vegan and Gluten Free.

AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE

Zoodles together with Avocado cream sauce 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.

These Zoodles with Avocado Cream Sauce has done that. This by far has to be the perfect sauce to top your Zoodles with....Super easy, & quick to prepare and so deliciously creamy.

Zoodles are quickly becoming one of my favorite go to's 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 to like it. But the husband said it was awesomeness and since he never lies 😉 , hence you can now find the recipe on the blog.

The only thing about food blogging is, since I'm always trying to come up with new recipe ideas this may not make it to the table again as soon as he would like. 😥

But in order to save an avocado and some basil it may happen sooner. Cause we all know how quickly those avocados can turn on you 😆

➡ Update- re-did the pictures & it was just as awesome as we both remembered.

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

And the Avocado cream sauce comes together in a matter of minutes in the food processor.

I always have been a big fan of roasted veggies. You could always just roast up a few extra and have them ready for some other recipes. Which is exactly what I did!

HOW TO MAKE ZOODLES

You just need some fresh zucchini and a Spiralizer to make them. It's really pretty easy and they come together quickly!

And this is the Spiralizer I like to use to make zoodles easily.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini

Roasted Grape tomatoes-optional

• 5-6 grape tomatoes
• olive oil for drizzling
• balsamic vinegar for drizzling
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• salt & pepper

Instructions

• Rinse the zucchini and cut end off both sides. Put through spiralizer or thinly slice with knife.
• Put zucchini noodles in colander and generously salt them. Allow to sit 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile rinse avocado and remove pit. Place avocado, basil leaves, garlic, lime juice, cashews, coconut oil, salt and pepper in food processor(or blender) and blend until you have a creamy consistency.
• Rinse zucchini noodles and place in saute pan with 1 tbsp. olive oil. Cook about 3-4 minutes.

Notes

If roasting tomatoes preheat oven to 400 degrees before starting. Then coat tomatoes and garlic with olive oil, drizzle of balsamic vinegar and salt & pepper to taste. Roast about 15-20 minutes.

I usually roast extra grape tomatoes since they are delicious on so many things.
