Creamy Avocado Pasta with Basil and Tomatoes | Gluten-Free!
This creamy avocado pasta is a 15-minute easy spaghetti meal made with fresh ingredients, silky texture and bright, herby flavors. Naturally vegan and gluten-free too!
Boil the pasta following the instructions on the package (about 10 minutes; add salt to the boiling water).
In a medium bowl, mix the mashed avocado, lemon juice, mashed garlic, chopped tomato, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil pesto or chopped basil leaves.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to the bowl.
Mix well and serve.
Notes
Serve immediately while the avocado sauce is fresh and bright green, as it can brown if left to sit. If using store-bought basil pesto, check the label to make sure it is dairy-free, since many pestos contain Parmesan.
