Why yes please, I would in fact like some pasta with avocado basil sauce. Thank you for asking!
Ingredients:
- 4 servings gluten free quinoa spaghetti
- 2 ripe avocados, pits removed
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 2 cups washed broccoli florets
- Fresh ground black pepper and lemon zest (from your lemon!) to taste
Serves 4.
- Boil spaghetti in water according to package instructions. Add in broccoli.
- While the spaghetti and broccoli are cooking, place avocados, basil leaves, juice from your lemon, and garlic in food processor. Process until rich and smooth.
- Drain spaghetti and broccoli in a colander. Place in a serving dish, and toss with green sauce. Top with black pepper and lemon zest.
Why yes. I would love some green pasta!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I've never had quinoa spaghetti before but since I love quinoa so much I think I should try it. :)
Thank you Shannon :) :)
DeleteI love this! It sounds so simple, but I would have never thought to toss pasta with avocado. I'm making this!

Wonderful!! I've tried it with cilantro for a more subtle flavor :) Keep me posted, Lizzie! xo
DeleteI made this other night for my parents who loved it! Even my dad, who is a bacon/cheese fanatic, enjoyed it. My avocados could have been riper so I added some olive oil when I blended the "sauce" and also a pinch of salt. It was really great and reminded me of a pesto. Creamy and a little tangy.
ReplyDeleteAll of these recipes are fun and creative. I send them to friends to try. Thanks so much for sharing, Sasha, they're great!
Thank you so much!!! I am so happy your parents enjoyed it!!! Keep me posted if you try others :) All the best! xo, Sasha
