It’s lemony, garlicky, herby, and incredibly creamy thanks to buttery avocado. Simply toss the pasta of your choice in this delicious sauce and add any seasonal veggies you have on hand and call it a meal or picnic-friendly side. Let us show you how it’s done!
How to Make Avocado Pasta Sauce
The star of this pasta salad is the sauce. It’s made with a creamy avocado base, brightened up with fresh herbs and lemon, and packs a punch from garlic, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. Olive oil is an optional addition for a richer sauce and more earthy/floral notes. All the ingredients get blended up in a small blender or food processor with a little water to encourage blending. The result is a thick and creamy avocado pasta sauce in a matter of minutes! After preparing the sauce, all that’s left to do is cook the pasta and coat it in sauce. If you have any fresh seasonal veggies lying around, this would be a good time to add them in. We think roasted broccoli, fresh arugula or peas, or slow roasted tomatoes would all pair nicely. Step it up to the next level by garnishing with sun-dried tomatoes for bites of sweetness and vegan parmesan cheese for a salty, cheesy element. Swoon! We hope you LOVE this avocado pasta salad!
