Avocado Pasta

Avocado is one of the nutritious stone fruit that can be used as an ingredient in various recipes. This time I am going to try something different with the fruit. I experimented it with creamy pasta and the recipe turned out awesome.

So let’s jump into on how I cooked this pasta using Avocado and some other ingredients. It’s a quick vegan and creamy snack you can have in the evening.

Ingredients

• Pasta
• 2 ripe Avocados
• Basil
• Olive oil
• Garlic cloves
• Lemon juice
• Salt
• Nutritional yeast
• Plant-based milk
• 2-3 tbsp cashew butter

For toppings:

• Tomatoes
• Pine nuts
• Peas

Instructions

• First of all, cook the pasta according to the way stated on the packet.
• Strip some basil leaves and chop them into pieces
• Peel the garlic and press it.
• Half the avocado from the centre, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh of the avocado with a spoon.
• Blend all the ingredients properly for the guacamole.
• Add salt and other seasonings to it for the flavor, followed by plant-based milk according to your taste. You can also add cashew butter.
• Have a look at the pasta, if it is ready pour out the boiling water and rinse it with fresh water.
• On the other side, roast some pine nuts without oil, until they turn brown.
• Now combine pasta with the guacamole and serve it in a bowl with tomatoes, pine nuts and peas.
