Uber-Creamy Green Dream Avocado Sauce Pasta

Dairy Free, Dips + Spreads, Mains, Vegan, Vegetarian

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.

Serves: 2-4

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

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!
Keeps in the fridge for about 3 days sealed in an airtight container or jar.
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.
