Uber-Creamy Green Dream Avocado Sauce Pasta

Speedy Weeknight Dinner: Uber-Creamy Green Dream Avocado Sauce Pasta | www.sprinkleofgreen.com

The CREAMIEST, DREAMIEST avocado sauce. It’s just perfect for those days when you’re not really feeling a heavy sauce, but don’t necessarily want to go with light a tomato sauce either. It’s balanced and so flavourful, making a comforting bowl of pasta that doesn’t leave you feeling weighed down.

Some of my favourite ways to use this sauce include (but obviously not limited to):

  • smother it on pasta (my fave is the pasta way)
  • use as a salad dressing
  • as a dip with your fave veggies or crackers
  • stirred through rice for a risotto-y feel
  • over bread instead of guac, with a casual poached egg on top

If you’re now converted to the avocado sauce obsession, I’ve made avocado sauce on here before – check out this Creamy AF Avocado Pesto Pasta and this oldie but a goodie Avocado Salad Dressing.

Ingredients
For the Green Avocado Sauce
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tin cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup feta (omit if vegan)
  • ½ large lemon, juiced
  • 2 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • Generous pinch salt & pepper
  • Handful mixed greens (spinach, basil, rocket, etc)
  • Glug milk of choice (I used a pea milk)
To Serve
  • Cooked pasta of choice
  • Roasted tomatoes
  • Protein of choice: grilled salmon, pan-fried tofu, garlicky beans, etc
Instructions
  1. Scoop your avocado flesh into a blender and add the remaining ingredients. Blend until super smooth and creamy, adding more liquid if necessary - either your milk of choice or water. Taste and adjust any seasoning, and serve!
  2. Keeps in the fridge for about 3 days sealed in an airtight container or jar.
  3. If you're adding it to pasta, gently heat up in a saucepan until bubbling and stir through pasta plus a handful extra greens. Top with some roasted tomatoes, or pine nuts, for extra oomf and add your favourite protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
