SO HOW'D IT GO?
I have zucchini and an almost-ripe avocado, gonna have to try this. I love ohsheglows for vegan recipes, everything I've made from that site has been awesome
I made this for dinner tonight. It's the first day I'm going raw for a personal 30 day raw challenge. This was really good, very creamy as the name implies. Almost like eating guacamole over pasta. The only thing I would suggest is that it makes a lot for one person. So next time I would half the recipe, because I'm the only one eating it at my home.
This was so great! I loved any and everything to do with pasta; this helps me to bypass pasta but still get the great taste in. I will be making more of this due to the fact my zucchini plants is doing so good this year.
This was SO delicious! I added tomatoes, and spinach. YUM! I will be making this many times over. Thank you very much!
