Creamy Avocado pasta Sauce (Green Pasta)

Step 1

Cook your pasta according to the package instructions and your preferred level (al dente vs. more tender).When draining the pasta, keep around 1 cup of the pasta water to one side.

Step 2

To prepare the green sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend into a smooth sauce. I like to start by adding just 1/3 of the pasta water and then adding more until I've thinned the avocado sauce into my desired consistency.

Step 3

Give the sauce a taste, increase the seasonings/lemon if preferred, and then combine with the pasta, mix well, and serve!Optionally, top with a little parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a vegan alternative).

Step 4

This avocado pasta is best enjoyed immediately. However, any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. However, I've found that the flavor seems to mellow as it sits, so you may want to add a little extra lemon juice or seasonings before serving.I haven't tried freezing the creamy avocado sauce as I imagine it could impact the flavor and texture negatively. However, feel free to experiment - I suggest freezing in an airtight container for between 1-2 months.
