I love avocado and this recipe looks yum.

This looks heavenly! I will try it with zuchinni noodles :) And on a side note I am sure if you want to use less oil the recipe would still be super tasty, just leave off the finishing oil and sub the other with water :)

I don't like the avocado texture but I think with this spaghetti it won't be a problem XD Yummy!

Is this supposed to be served at what temperature? Looks like it's going to be great either way.

How long does it keep? Could you eat leftovers next day for lunch? Or does the avocado go brown?

Looks lovely and simple recipe, but way heavy on the oil for me, but some will be able to digest all that oil I guess. :O)
