Spiralize your zucchini and set aside. Cut the mushrooms into thin slices, drizzle with olive oil and gently heat in a large frying pan for about 5 minutes. During which time place the brazil nuts in a food processor and blend for the same amount of time, until they become creamy. Then add in the avocado, olive oil, lime, mint leaves and salt – blend again. Gradually add the water as the sauce blends to create exactly the right consistency for you.
Add the sauce and spaghetti to the mushrooms in the frying pan and gently heat for a couple of minutes to warm the dish up and soften the pasta a little, alternatively enjoy it raw.
