Too much avocado or not enough zoodles. It would have been better with one or the other adjusted. I would try again with that modification. I had it with chicken and the combination was good. As it was, it was a good dieters meal as I didn't clean my plate, lol.

First and foremost... This tastes absolutely NOTHING like Alfredo Sauce. It will need at least triple the amount of parmesan to even come close. What it DOES taste like is Guacamole on Zoodles. The picture also does not look at all like mine. Mine was full on deep deep green like the flesh of the Avocado. All that being said, it wasn't bad. If I were to make it again, I would double down on the Guacamole idea and add some tomato and onion. Probably throw in some cayenne as well, or some low sodium hot sauce.

This was surprising delicious, I added a splash of half and half because I wanted some more dairy, since there is no protein in this recipe. It would have been delicious made exactly as the recipe is, I think if you add some shrimp or chicken it would be a perfect protein.
