Guac meets pasta — creamy, dreamy, and utterly delicious!
Creamy Guacamole Pasta
Description
This Creamy Guacamole Pasta takes the best parts of your favorite guacamole and turns them into a luscious plant-based sauce that hugs every part of the pasta.
Ripe avocados blended with fresh basil, zesty lime, garlic, and silky avocado oil create a rich, dreamy sauce that's both satisfying and light on the palate.
Tossed with al dente pasta (or spiralized zoodles for a low-calorie twist) and finished with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan and basil, it's a simple yet unforgettable meal that feels indulgent without the dairy.
Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekend lunches — and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for vegans and non-vegans alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Use gluten-free pasta as an option, or if you have a zoodler, also known as a Vegetable Spiralizer, it can be a delicious way to increase your intake of veggies and reduce your calorie intake!
You can eat the zoodles raw, or heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, and drop the noodles in. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook for a minute or two over medium-high heat, stirring often. Remove from the heat and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, add the garlic and basil to a Food Processor and pulse a few times to mince.
-
Add the lemon juice, water, avocado, oil, sea salt, pepper, and vegan parmesan.
-
Continue to process, scraping down the sides as needed.
Make the sauce as creamy as you like or leave a few chunks of whole avocado if that's your preference.
-
Drain the pasta, if using, and return it to the pot.
-
Add the avocado mixture to the pasta (or zoodles) and stir until well combined.
-
Sprinkle with extra parmesan if desired, and garnish with fresh basil.
