Creamy Avocado Basil Zoodles Recipe

New Zealand's Top Mummy Blogger Parenting Travel Blog Family Zoodles Recipe

Oh.  My.  Lord.

Never made zoodles before, preeeety sure I’ve never created OR made a whole foods recipe before either.

First time for everything – including using New Hemisphere Hemp Seed Oil –  and let me tell you, I will be making this again, and again and again.  The nutty taste of the Hemp Seed Oil is the perfect complement to the smooth, creamy avocado blend (especially as I forgot to buy pine nuts for the pesto!).

I read a lot about zoodles before I began, it seems the key to making them is not to overcook them, you don’t want a pile of courgette / zucchini mush on your plate.  Use the same principles as cooking regular pasta – firm, al dente noodles are your goal.
