Traditional alfredo sauce is a decadent dish made with lots of cream and butter. This lighter version gets its creaminess from avocado, which is full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (instead of saturated fat found in cream and butter). It also adds lots of fiber to a dish that typically has none. For a low carb meal, we toss the sauce with zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta. You can spiralize your own zucchini with a special tool, or make ribbons with a vegetable peeler. You can also check the produce aisle or the freezer aisle for spiralized zucchini. Watch the Avocado
