I came across this Zoodles recipe on Pinterest, and ever since, I wanted to give it a try. I received this Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer as a gift from my bestie Ramya last year, and I absolutely love making zucchini noodles with it.

This zoodles is a healthier low-carb alternative to traditional pasta, packed with nutrient-dense ingredients. Yum! Also, check out my Avocado Pesto Pasta.

If you are on a Keto or Low Carb Diet. Check out my Keto Indian Food Recipes Collection.

This dish is super filling, healthy, and your kids will love it. You can mix the avocado sauce with raw zucchini noodles (I prefer this way) or lightly cook zoodles in a teaspoon of oil.

Ingredients to make Zucchini Pasta Recipe

  • Zucchini: I have used two fresh medium-sized zucchini.
  • Avocado: Use good quality ripened avocado to make this sauce.
  • Cilantro:  I have used fresh-cut cilantro for herbs, you can also replace it with basil or spinach.
  • Garlic: Garlic adds a great flavor to the dish, so don't skip it.
  • Lemon juice: Lemon juice is added for tanginess and to avoid browning of avocado sauce, so don't miss it.
  • Olive oil: Use extra virgin oil for the best flavor. You can also skip it if you are on a diet.
  • Salt and black pepper: They are added as a seasoning.
