This creamy avocado pasta sauce is a quick, healthy, and flavorful alternative to traditional cream-based sauces. Made with ripe avocados, fresh herbs, and garlic, it’s perfect for a dairy-free, vegan-friendly meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1–2 garlic cloves
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 2–3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 handful fresh basil (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Water or pasta water (as needed to thin sauce)

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, basil (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Blend until smooth, adding a little water or pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve immediately with cooked pasta of your choice. Toss to coat evenly.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
  • Fresh basil adds flavor, but you can substitute with spinach or parsley.
  • Best consumed immediately, as avocado can brown over time.
  • Add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor if desired.
