Creamy Avocado Pasta

This pasta has all you’d want in a creamy-sauced pasta dish, minus the cream. No cream. Just pure avocado bliss. It’s rich, smooth, and light all at the same time. For extra nutrition and beautiful color, add plenty of fresh parsley (you can’t really taste it in the dish.) To make it Superman healthy, use whole grain pasta.

Step 1

Blend lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt, paprika, parsley, and olive oil together in a food processor until smooth. Add avocado. Continue processing until smooth and creamy. Add black pepper to taste. Set sauce aside in air tight container, with cling wrap resting directly on top of sauce to keep air out.

Step 2

In a large heavy pot, bring well-salted water to boil. Cook pasta just until al dente, according to package.

Step 3

Drain pasta in strainer and sprinkle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Plate the pasta and pour desired amount of sauce onto each plate. Toss to combine and sprinkle with plenty of fresh parmesan. Serve immediately.

Step 4

Note: If there will be leftover sauce, keep it in a separate air tight container (cling wrap resting on top of sauce.) Keeps well in fridge for a day or two this way. When ready to use, simply make hot pasta and pour on remaining sauce. Don’t reheat the sauce – just toss it with hot pasta.
