I think I found a new favorite pasta recipe! I saw this mentioned somewhere, and was intrigued. I had to think about it for awhile though, I was a little nervous. I mean, I LOVE avocado’s, but the idea of that as my pasta sauce made me a little nervous. What would it taste like? Would I like it? Would my husband actually eat it? Well, it was amazing, and I can’t wait to make it again! It was so easy too! You have to boil noodles, but aside from that, no cooking required! And to top it off, it is healthy!!! Use a fortified pasta, and you have protein, fiber, and everything all in one tasty meal!

Oh wow, I'm right there with you. Love avocados but never really considered them in pasta, but I guess why not, right? Love the green color and can imagine that any avocado lover would want to try this now after seeing it 🙂 Thanks!

Wow such a small world. My roommate just made something just like this earlier this week, but she made an avocado arugula pesto instead of basil. So delicious! I had never had avocado with pasta before.
