If you follow me on Pinterest, you would know that I have a slight avocado obsession; I have a board dedicated to avocado recipes! I came across this avocado pasta sauce recipe on “Oh She Glows” and decided to attempt it.
Boil your favorite pasta using the package instructions (add some salt and olive oil to the water)
Gather the ingredients for the pasta sauce:
avocado, basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, tomato, salt, & pepper
Throw it all in a food processor and blend away…
Chop up some onions, mushrooms and bell peppers for a quick vegetable saute…
Saute the veggies in butter and garlic and prepare to assemble.
Voila!
