So, here’s what you need to do to get this dish in your belly. First, spiralize some zucchini. If you don’t have a spiralizer, Kitchn recommends this one. Then, you make the sauce. You add the avocado, basil, garlic, pine nuts, and lemon to a food processor and blend until smooth. After that you briefly heat the zucchini noodles on the stove before adding it to a bowl and topping it with the sauce, seasoning, and some Parmesan.

Most of the comments on Pinterest seem to be positive. One commenter said they bought pre-made zoodles to save on time, and another mentioned that they didn’t have pine nuts and basil so they used parsley and oregano and it still turned out great.
