15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta
by Angela Liddon of Oh She Glows
(best recipe blog EVER)!

Prep Time: 5 mins {FIVE MINUTES PEEPS}!
Cook Time: 10 mins

Creamy, thick, and rich with lots of garlic flavor and a hint of lemon. This is my newest favorite pasta dish. The avocado works wonderfully in this recipe to create a sauce so creamy and thick, you will think there is cream hiding in there.

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 medium sized ripe Avocado, pitted
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced + lemon zest to garnish
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, to taste (I used 3 and it was quite garlicky, but if you are not a big fan of garlic use 1 clove)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
  • ~1/4 cup Fresh Basil, (probably optional)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 servings/6 oz of your choice of pasta (I used 3oz of spelt and 3 oz of Kamut spaghetti)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  • 1. Bring several cups of water to a boil in a medium sized pot. Add in your pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until Al Dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Now add in the pitted avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.
  • 3. When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse in a strainer and place pasta into a large bowl. Pour on sauce and toss until fully combined. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
  • Please note: This dish does not reheat well due to the avocado in the sauce. Please serve immediately.


OK, if you want a quick & healthy recipe that is insanely delish this is YOUR MEAL.  It's soooooo incredibly good.  I have made it countless times and it always makes my belly happy & full.  So simple.  So delicious.  So hearty.   

All of Angela's recipes are a combination of savory, unique healthy and equate to being out of this world. 

Bona Petite!
