Pasta ZUCCHINI RIBBON
I spent the weekend in Murrieta for The Big Potluck, a food-blogging conference that I had been anticipating for months. We finally arrived at the venue after a three-hour car ride in LA’s worst traffic. After drinking a little too much the first night, I suffered from the worst hangover ever.
This pasta dish is a great way to start a clean diet for regaining my health. This is a simple pasta dish with avocado, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes and zucchini ribbons. A little lemon juice adds some tang. I added some pine nuts for crunch. Feel free to use whatever you have available.
