A creamy and vibrant avocado pasta tossed in a silky, dairy-free sauce made with ripe avocados, garlic, lemon, and olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. While the pasta cooks, combine the avocados, garlic, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Toss the hot pasta with the avocado sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
  5. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use very ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or grilled chicken for extra flavor and protein.
  • The sauce may darken slightly; serve immediately for best color and taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
