SEASONING FOR AVOCADO PASTA SAUCE

This vegan avocado pasta sauce is super easy to season with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. As this is a vegan recipe you can replace some ingredients: such as grated parmesan cheese. Instead, you can use a vegan alternative, or to get a cheesy flavor you can sprinkle nutritional yeast on top.

Although I used olive oil to prepare this sauce recipe, if you want to make avocado pasta sauce oil-free you can replace this ingredient with coconut milk or vegan cream cheese.

Lastly, you can add other ingredients to season this delicious pasta dish; for example fresh herbs or dried herbs. Check the list below to get more ingredient ideas that go really well with avocado pasta sauce.

SEASONING IDEAS:

• Lime juice.
• Black pepper.
• Chili flakes.
• Fresh basil leaves.

EXTRA INGREDIENTS FOR AVOCADO PASTA SAUCE

This pasta sauce is super fresh and creamy thanks to the ripe avocado. However, you can add more ingredients to blend in your creamy sauce or you can also add them on top of your pasta sauce; for example, roasted chickpeas to get a crunchy texture. Furthermore, this is a great recipe if you have leftover pasta, which also will reduce the time of preparation and you won’t need to cook the pasta as you can use cooked pasta. As a result, you can reduce food waste using leftover cooked pasta.

EXTRA INGREDIENTS:

• Black olives.
• Green olives.
• Spinach.
• Cherry tomatoes.
• Red onions.
• Red peppers.
• Nuts; such as walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, etc.
