Notes

  • This pasta tastes best the day it is made and eaten. If there are any leftovers, you can store them for a maximum of 2 days. To brighten the flavor, drizzle some lemon juice before serving.
  • Add greens like spinach or kale while tossing pasta or blanch it and add it while making the sauce.
  • Feel free to add herbs or seasoning of your choice.
  • Avocado pasta sauce does not use basil here. However, it can be made by adding parmesan cheese and basil while blending to taste like avocado pesto.
  • For the crunch, add the toasted nuts of your choice.
  • To make it more nutritious, you can add green peas, corn kernels, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, etc.
