This Raw Avocado Pesto Zucchini Pasta is the perfect way to lighten up a classic dish. Packed with flavor + nutrition you’ll never miss the actual pasta!

I think I might be a bit ahead of schedule for this recipe in terms of seasonality, but I’m eagerly awaiting summer and as such my diet has basically consisted of all things summery for the last month.

This dish was inspired by two things: the abundance of avocados I had a few weeks ago and the strong draw I’ve been having towards the light, bright and summery dishes.

It checks all those boxes and more!

The dish requires just a few simple ingredients, takes under 10 minutes to make and easily serves a hungry crowd.

Just as the recipe name says, the base of the pesto sauce is avocado. You blend that up in a food processor with basil, lemon, garlic, and pine nuts/walnuts and you’re done.

All that’s left once the pesto is made is to toss if over your zucchini pasta and enjoy!
