Spiralized veggies seem to be all the craze lately, and I love it.  And with all the craze going on, I got the opportunity to try out the Veggetti®.  It's compact and really incredibly easy to use.  It can easily be stored with my small kitchen utensils when not in use and it's dishwasher safe.  It fits perfectly for what I need.  I love it!

Creamy Pesto 'Pasta'

1/2 cup packed basil leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 garlic clove
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 avocado
2 small to medium zucchini

Directions
In a blender or food processor, combine everything except the zucchini and blend until smooth.  To create zucchini noodles, simply twist the zucchini through the Veggetti, cut the noodles in half, or smaller depending on how long you like your noodles.  Then blanch the noodles for a couple of minutes or until desired doneness is reached.  Combine the sauce and the noodles and serve.
