Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Sauce

A gluten and dairy free diet means having to avoid most pasta dishes but imagine the joy of finding a much healthier option that tastes just as delicious! I’m in love with these zucchini noodles  especially when I want a quick meal!

A friend invited me to dinner and prepared noodles using zucchini and I was amazed!! She used a tool called a spiralizer and I had to get one. It can spiralize almost any veggie or tuber – zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes… After that all you have to do is combine it with your favourite sauce and you’re done in 5 minutes or less!

I’ve commonly used it to make zucchini noodles especially when I want a simple, light and delicious meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
