Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes (mixed yellow and red)
  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 4 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 3-4 green onions, green parts only
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pulse avocado, olive oil, salt, parsley, green onions, and garlic in a blender or food processor for 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions for 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat cherry tomatoes in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil for 3-4 minutes until skins split. Remove from heat.
  4. Add the zucchini noodles to the same skillet and toss for 1-2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti and the prepared avocado sauce to the skillet. Toss for 1 minute until everything is well combined and coated.
  6. Season with additional salt if needed. Top with the reserved burst tomatoes and Parmesan cheese (if using). Serve immediately.

Notes

- For an extra creamy sauce, ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe.
- Adjust salt and lemon juice to your personal taste.
- If you don't have zucchini noodles, regular pasta works wonderfully too.
- Garnish with extra parsley or a drizzle of chili oil for a kick.
