If there’s ever a recipe I’m going to beg you to try, it’s this one. This avocado pasta is out of this world! you won’t really know what to expect or how delicious it is until you try it. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever had before but tastes just a tad like pesto. The smooth creamy avocado along with the tangy garlic and fresh herbs make an amazing combo!

You basically cook any type of pasta you want to al’dente and set it aside.

Place the creamy avocado sauce mixture on your pasta and combine. The results are truly magical! Tangy, creamy pasta that will impress just about anyone and will make you look like a pro chef! ????

Just made this last night and we loved it. In fact my friend is coming over tomorrow and I am making it for her. Only thing I added was 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Otherwise I followed recipe. Thank you for such a delicious, easy recipe.
This was really lovely – made it on a whim to use up an avocado. I used coriander (cilantro) and lime also and it was delicious! Also added some fried courgettes and sun dried tomatoes as needed to use up, and sprinkled with extra cheese, lots of black pepper and chilli flakes. It doesn’t at all taste like guacamole on pasta, just its own very delicious thing which you can play around with as you like – thank you.
So good! Made mine plant-based, so subbed oil out for veggie broth and subbed the cheese out WIth nutritional yeast. I eyeballed those ingredients. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the inspiration!! (Sorry for caps…would only show that way)
Great recipe THANKS! Easy and quick! I used 2 avocados instead of one. I used shredded vegan parm instead of regular (so my vegan daughter could enjoy it too). And I added a can of diced tomatoes. Delicious! Me and my 19 and 21 year old DAUGHTERS enjoyed it very MUCH, several times!!!
This is now one of my favorite go-to recipes! It is a delicious, easy meat-free option. Thank you!
You’re welcome! <3
So delicious and so quick! I was looking for a quick meal and had all pf these ingredients in the house. Served over chickpea pasta with a few turkey meatbAlls, and hubby and i were quite happy.
Thank you so much for sharing this delic recipe. I just mase it for dinner and my family loved it. I just added some grilled chicken breast and it was amazing. 😁
Yum! Chicken sounds like a great addition <3
Great, fast and simple recipe
I enjoyed this a lot! I would recommend adding less of the garlic (like 1 clove tops), but otherwise, perfect for me!
wow@ I have BEEN looking at this recipe for a while now and finally decided to make it. I wish i hadn’t waited so long! YUm!! everyone in my family loved it (4 year old daughter included!) i also roasted some garbanzo beans and added them. i made it exactly as you stated you did, some basil and cilantro. delicious!
Simple and amazing sauce! Even better the next day! Used it as a spread for a sandwich too. Our picky toddler polished off his plate of PASTA, thank you!
So happy to hear the little one enjoyed it!! <3
This recipe is so good! I was worried it was going to taste too much like GUAc mixed with pasta, but all of the other flavorings in it make it taste amazing! Will definitely be making it again again.
why does this not have more reviEws? Fantastic recipe. Will always make this at home. Thank you!
Looks and sounds so good! I’m making it tonight and can’t wait to try it
I found The raw garlic to be kind Of overwhelming so i added a spoonful of greek yogurt which mellowed it out.
Made this for dinner tonight. The only thing I didn’t have was fresh basil, parsley or cilantro so I used a bit of dried basil. It was fabulous. I will make this again and again. I have just recently started using avocados and was looking for simple but delicious recipes.
how much fiber?
Great recipe!! My bf and I loved it. I added some cherry tomatoes and corn to the dish and it gave a little extra flavor but the recipe as is tasted delicious already.
Thanks for the delicious and easy recipe. We loved it so much we had it two nights in a row. It also tastes nice with some cherry tomatoes to add some tang.
Where are the proteins in this pasta?
Just added the nutritional info under the recipe. There are 10.7 g per serving.
Thanks for a great recipe!! I made it for my family and friends and it was all they could talk about for 2 days !!!
Making it again after church and serving with baked chicken. This is at the top of our favorites now !!!
I must have used a really large avicadi because I had to add another cup of pasta. This tasted great, though. For an even “cheesier” taste, add 1-2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast.
Whoops, avocado.
This is just soo delicious OMG
How well do you think this would do in the freezer? Would love to have some ready made sauce!
I froze my extras and it was just as delicious! It only was in the freezer for about a week because it was so good I had to eat it again, so I’m not sure how long it would last after a week 🙂
Yum, it tastes even better the next day!
Has anyone tried nutritional yeast in place of the cheese for a vegan version?
Is this pasta eaten hot or cold?
As a dietician I am constantly cautioning people that although avocado is a healthy fat, it is still fat and high in calories. If you are trying to lose weight you should have no more than a half an avocado per day or less often.
Thanks for your input, Ruthie! We try not to have too much but it’s just so good!
I made this and I found it serves at least 4 so ends up being about a 1/4 avo per person. Hope that helps!
Still better than the alternative though right? Don’t knock it just because avocado has fat in it!
Looks like the recipe uses one avocado and serves three people.
I tried it and it’s incredible. Perfect combo!
it was OK
But it tasted like guac on my pasta..and i dunno how i feel about it.
Yeah my family thought so too – my daughter added beans and dipped chips in it! Not my favorite
Avocado Posta is my favorite thing in the world. This reminds me it’s been too long since I made it!
This looks delicious! Eating avocado pasta for weeknight meal is my favorite thing to do! Easy yet delicious!
This is an amazing recipe! Love! Thank you for sharing your healthy recipes.
Avocados + pasta are like the two best comfort foods in the world, and they are SO good together! This looks like such a delicious sauce!
This looks seriously incredible- so creamy and healthy and easy! Pinning!
It is! Give it a try, I promise you will love it! 😀
