Super Fast Creamy Avocado Pasta and Steamed Broccoli

I have had this recipe for a very long time. I recently started eating vegan and this recipe was perfect after a long day of classes and wanted something quick. If you like garlic and pasta and avocado, this is perfect for you! I would definitely make this recipe again. 5 Stars!

Creamy Avocado Pasta
Ingredients:

• 1 medium sized ripe Avocado, pitted
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1-3 garlic cloves, to taste (I used 4 and it was super garlicky, don't do it.)
• 1/2 tsp  salt, or to taste
• ~1/4 cup Fresh Basil
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 servings/6 oz of your choice of pasta (I used quinoa elbows!)
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• garlic powder to 

• Half broccoli head 

Directions:
1. Make your pasta like you usually do. Boil water, put pasta in, wait, drain. You know the drill. (During this, I had my broccoli steaming on top!)

2. While your pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Put the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Then add the pitted avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.

3. When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse in a strainer and place pasta into a large bowl. Pour on sauce and toss until fully combined. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper. Serve immediately.


Makes 2 servings.
Please note: This dish does not reheat well due to the avocado in the sauce. Please serve immediately.


I added extra seasoning and steamed broccoli to this recipe. What would you have as a side or add to the dish?
