# How to Make It:

02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
04 - Combine avocado, basil, pine nuts or walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 - Toss sautéed zucchini noodles with your choice of sauce (Tomato Basil or Avocado Pesto). Divide between plates. Top with preferred toppings: Parmesan, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
