  • Prepare avocado pasta sauce: Put everything listed in the ingredients list into the blender or food processor. Blend to a super smooth and creamy consistency.

Notes

  • When you chop the avocados, place them in a bowl with lemon juice or vinegar. This will help prevent browning.
  •  Mix in some nutritional yeast for an extra cheesy flavor!
  •  You can use frozen corn for this recipe to bring in a sweet note but be sure to thaw it out first!
  • Use any type of pasta like penne, spaghetti, fusilli. Gluten-free pasta is also a great fit for this recipe.
  • You can also top with roasted cherry tomatoes and seeds.
  • You can also use an instant pot for cooking the pasta, then mix it with avocado pasta sauce.
