A perfect summer dish
It literally takes 10 minutes (not counting the time the water takes to boil) to make this dish and just a few ingredients you might already have in your home.
The pasta sauce is made cold and then it's poured on the pasta outside of the heat. This way the pasta will lightly cool down and the avocado will not cook. The final dish it's a comforting warm creamy pasta.
If you prefer this dish to be colder like a pasta salad, you can drain the pasta and then keep it under running cold water until it's completely cooled down (a couple of minutes). Perfect for those super hot days!
Variations
- Spicy Avocado Pasta - Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the blender.
- Avocado Pesto Pasta - Blend in fresh basil and pine nuts or walnuts for a herby twist.
- Protein Boost - Top with grilled shrimp, chicken, or chickpeas.
- Green Power Bowl - Mix in steamed broccoli, peas, or spinach for a veggie-packed version.
Storage
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. The avocado sauce may darken slightly due to oxidation, but it's still safe to eat. Toss with a splash of lemon juice or olive oil before serving to refresh the texture.
