Avocado pasta is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish that comes together in minutes, perfect for a healthy weeknight meal. Here’s a simple yet delicious guide to making it:
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon (for brightness)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or reserved pasta water)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 400g fettuccine or spaghetti
- Optional: Cherry tomatoes, basil, or red pepper flakes for garnish
Steps:
1. Cook the pasta: Boil salted water, add pasta, and cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
2. Make the sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding 1-2 tbsp pasta water to reach a creamy consistency.
3. Combine: Toss the drained pasta with the avocado sauce. If too thick, add more pasta water until silky.
4. Serve: Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Tips: Use ripe avocados for creaminess; adjust lemon and garlic to taste. This dairy-free sauce is rich in healthy fats and makes a refreshing, guilt-free alternative to traditional pasta dishes. Enjoy!
