By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 12 oz. whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles (Free)
• 2 medium avocados ($.98) $.49 from Aldi the other week!

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, or 3 cloves crushed ($.10)

Preparation

Step 1

Boil the noodles as directed in salted water.
Meanwhile, add the avocados, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic to food processor or blender. Puree. (I did have to add a little water to get the blender to make the puree.)
Drain the noodles, toss with the creamy avocado sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.
Serve Creamy Avocado Noodles with Broccoli.
