Step 1

Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the mushrooms and saute for 8-12 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow the mushrooms to turn golden-brown. Remove from stove and set aside.

Step 2

Add the flesh of the avocado, spinach, almonds, garlic, juice of the lime, sea salt, and chili flakes to a food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, or until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

If you opt for zucchini noodles, you can serve them raw or cooked. If you want to cook them, simply add them to a large skillet over medium heat, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add your zucchini noodles or brown rice pasta to a large bowl. Top with desired amount of pesto (I usually have about 1/4 cup of leftover pesto), toss to coat, and divide between plates.

Step 5

Top with mushrooms and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Step 6

Serve immediately.
