Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large zucchinis, spiralised If you mess this up, there are no judgmental stares from me!
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved I love sweet ones for this, but use any tomato.
  • 1 avocado, chopped Use frozen chunks if fresh is not available.
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, crushed Feel free to swap for pecans.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Only the good stuff, okay?
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to your preference.
  • fresh basil for garnish It makes everything taste better!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spiralise your zucchinis using a spiraliser or box grater to create lovely curly noodles.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are blistered.
  3. Add the spiralised zucchinis to the skillet with the tomatoes, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped avocado and crushed walnuts to the skillet, tossing gently until everything is warm but the zucchini remains slightly crunchy.

Notes

Serve in big white ceramic bowls for an elegant touch. Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors deepen. If you need to pause while cooking, just take the pan off heat and cover it to keep it warm without overcooking.
