Shaved zucchini noodles are perhaps one of my favorite ways to make zucchini. And did I fail to mention that it is topped a creamy avocado mint sauce.

The noodles are so incredibly quick and easy to make too. All you need is a vegetable peeler and you are in business. Literally it is done from start to finish in under 20 minutes, including the pesto. Which is done in a jiffy and it is super addicting.

We eat zucchini noodles a lot in my house. As if that isn’t great enough this awesomeness is made with just 3 ingredients.

And just between you and me is one of my top 10 vegetables. I have been on a super food kick as of late. I always thought that making healthier choices would leave me wanting. Which is so far from the truth. We were kind of obsessed with pasta in our loving family. So this makes the perfect substitute for us. I get the kids to shave the zucchini with me- I am all about putting them to work in my kitchen. That’s just how I roll.
