Raw & Vegan Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Sauce

This raw & vegan Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Sauce and topped with Cashew Parmesan is the perfect healthy dish! It's also gluten-free!

Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Sauce

I still remember the first time I tried Zucchini Pasta (or Zoodles) like it was yesterday - I've gotten a spiralizer from my parents and was so happy that I could finally enter the magic world of gluten-free, super healthy vegetable pasta. I was amazed at how much zucchini noodles tasted like real pasta!

Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Sauce

In a previous attempt, I've heated the noodles quickly in the pan, this time it's a raw recipe!

I like this one even more because the other one cooked down really fast and you needed a lot of zucchini for one person. Also this new recipe has a creamy Avocado Sauce which is truly amazing and goes together so well with the Zucchini Pasta.

Don't miss out on topping it with Cashew Parmesan! It's delicious!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ground pepper
  • Homemade Cashew Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Wash and spiralize your zucchini using a Spiralizer (or a Julienne Peeler).
  • Put the spiralized zucchini in a large bowl, sprinkle half of the salt over the zucchini and give it a good mix. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile peel the avocado, remove the seed and put it in a blender or food processor - mix it with the rest of the salt, the lemon juice and ground pepper until it's a smooth Avocado Cream. Taste it and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.
  • After 20 minutes the zucchini should have lost quite a bit of its water - drain it and put it back in the bowl.
  • Add the Avocado Cream and give it a good mix.
  • Put the Zucchini Pasta on a plate and enjoy. Don't forget to top it with the Cashew Parmesan!

Notes

If you want to make this recipe for more servings, I'd recommend using 1 large zucchini per person.

    I just had zoodles yesterday, but before that it had been a while...they're so fun and tasty :) The salting trick is brilliant, I will definitely have to try that!

      How cool is that! I like them raw much more than cooked and not having to use the stovetop in the summer is a plus as well.

    This simple zoodles recipe is perfect for all of us in a non-ending heath wave hovering over Europe - and I think I have an avocado (and bunch of zucchinis) in my kitchen :)

      I totally agree Jasmin! I've been living off popsicles lately. I (and my plants) really enjoy this sunny summer but I wouldn't mind a few degrees less.

      maybe your zucchini was smaller or your avocado was bigger than mine! :)
      Also.. is there ever too much cashew parmesan? :D
