    Tips for making pasta with avocado pasta sauce.

    When selecting an avocado to use in this recipe, select one that is ripe and is soft to the touch but not overripe. This will ensure that the avocado is creamy and flavorful.

    Here are some more great tips for you.

    1. For best results, cook your pasta al dente as this will help to keep its shape when combined with the creamy sauce. Avoid overcooking the pasta as this can make it too mushy to hold its shape.
    2. Grated parmesan cheese is a perfect topping for this recipe as it adds a salty and nutty flavour to the dish. Feel free to use a vegan version to keep this recipe vegan.
    3. You can blend or process your avocado to your desired consistency for a creamy sauce. However, I suggest that you keep your avocado a bit chunky rather than over blending or processing as over doing it can make the sauce too thin.

    How to store creamy avocado pasta sauce

    This pasta sauce is really best when served fresh due to the oxidation of the avocadoes. However, you can try adding a bit more lemon juice and store the sauce in an airtight container refrigerated for up to a few days or frozen for up to a couple of months.

    About this recipe for creamy avocado pasta sauce.

    Ingredients needed to make creamy Mediterranean Diet Avocado Pasta

    • Pasta. Select a pasta with a shape that will hold onto the sauce. Then cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Your pasta should be drained before combining it with the other ingredients.
    • Water. It is a good idea to snag a bit of the water from the cooked pasta to use in the sauce if needed later on. Regular water will not work the same as you need the starch from the pasta.
    • Avocado.Use a ripe avocado that is not too ripe.
    • Spinach. Use fresh spinach that has been properly cleaned.
    • Garlic. The garlic should be minced.
    • Lemon Juice. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
    • Olive Oil. I like a good extra virgin olive oil for this recipe.
    • Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings, Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.
    • Parmesan Cheese. Use a grated parmesan or vegan parmesan.
    • Tomatoes. Bite sized such as cherry or grape tomatoes. The tomatoes should be sliced in half.

    Expert Tip👉 Choose a pasta shape that will hold onto the sauce, such as fusilli, spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne. Make sure to cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente.

    How to make creamy Mediterranean Diet Avocado Pasta

    Serves 4.

    • Cook the pasta to al dente according the directions on the packaging. You can do this while preparing the sauce. Place the cooked pasta in a large mixing bowl.
    • To make the sauce, place the avocado (flesh) into a blender or food processor. Add the spinach and pulse a few times.
