4

medium courgettes
2

ripe avocados
2 cloves

garlic
10

sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
15 g

basil
30 g

pine nuts
2 tbsp

nutritional yeast
salt, pepper

Method

Wash the courgettes, cut off the ends and turn into zoodles using a spiraliser or, alternatively, peel into thin, noodle-like strips using a vegetable peeler.

Cut the avocados in half lengthways with a knife, twist open, remove the stone and scoop the flesh out of the skin with a spoon.

Peel the garlic, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, and wash and dry the basil.

Put the avocado, basil, pine nuts, garlic and nutritional yeast into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, and season with salt and pepper. If necessary, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the zoodles and sauté for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly soft but still firm to the bite.

Pour the avocado pesto over the zoodles and mix well until they are evenly coated. Keep cooking for a further 2 minutes to warm the pesto through.

Arrange the avocado pesto zoodles in bowls, garnish with the sun-dried tomatoes and Avocado Topping and serve.

The green goddess features heavily in our recipes – and unapologetically so! Avocados are full of healthy fats, Vitamin E and fibre to boot. Pair it with eggs for breakfast (avocado and poached eggs), quinoa for lunch (avocado and quinoa salad), and follow with an avocado bowl for supper with avocado chocolate mousse for dessert.
