Creamy Avocado Pasta

Creamy Avocado Pasta with fresh avocado, basil, lemon, garlic and Romano cheese with cherry tomatoes and linguine.

I, like many other people, start the New Year with the goal of eating healthier! This Creamy Avocado Pasta helps with that goal. I never participate in those “low carb” or “fat free” or trending diets. Instead, I stick to foods that make me feel good inside and out. This dish is one of those that gives you energy, feeds your body good fats and nutrients and also is wholesome keeping the tummy full.

Creamy Avocado Pasta

Avocados make a really great base for a pasta sauce. Its flavorful, creamy and a really simple ingredient to utilize. I have been getting lucky with my avocado picking lately. I have been grabbing ones that are really firm and letting them sit out a couple days before use. Avoid any soft/ “squishy” avocados because it will be too ripe.

Creamy Avocado Pasta also has a lot of garlic, just the right about of cheese, and juicy cherry tomatoes.

Garlic. Avocado. Pasta. Cheese. What else do you need in life?
