Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (such as spaghetti or linguine)
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, or grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cold pasta with the avocado sauce until well coated.
  4. Add chopped basil and parsley, and mix gently to combine.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
  • Best served the same day as avocados can brown over time.
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.
