Vegan Avocado Pasta

Ask me what my three favorite things are – avocados, pasta, and avocado pasta.

PSA – avocado pasta should be just as common as spaghetti & meatballs! It’s a great way to use those avocados that might be past their prime (waste food? no thanks!), and it is so dang delicious. Plus, if I can just throw a bunch of ingredients into a food processor and have a delicious meal, life is good.

Ingredients:

• 16 oz rotini pasta
• 2 avocados
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3/4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp dried basil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Method:

• Cook your pasta according to the instructions. I chose to use rotini this time, but this sauce would be good on any pasta.
• Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. I chose to air roast them for a few minutes, but they can be served fresh with the pasta as well.
• Add the avocado, lemon juice, basil, soy sauce, spinach, and basil to a food processor & blend. Add the olive oil and blend again.
• Taste and add salt & pepper as needed.

• Add the sauce to the cooked pasta, mix it up & add the cherry tomatoes.
• I topped mine with microgreens and chopped pistachios. Pine nuts would be great too and would make it more pesto-y.
• Enjoy & share! This is great reheated for up to five days.
