Creamy Avocado Pasta Sauce

Adapted from "Oh She Glows"

I adore avocados in any way, shape, or form, so when I came across this amazing recipe, I just knew I had to share it with everyone. This recipe is completely Vegan and is very addicting (as anything with avocado, garlic, and lemon should be!). It was created for regular flour pasta, but the creator also recommends grabbing some veggies and using a spiralizer to make veggie pasta for a light summer dish.

Ingredients:

1 medium ripe avocado
1/2 lemon, juiced and zest to garnish
1-3 cloves garlic, depending on preference
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Optional:
1/4 cup fresh basil


Directions:

Peel your avocado and remove the pit.

Combine your olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth.

Add the avocado, salt, and basil and process until smooth again.

Done!

Add as a sauce to pasta or veggie pasta, use as a dip for chips, a spread for sandwiches, or basically anything where a touch of garlic and lemony avocado would be a perfect compliment.

Store the pasta sauce in a cool dry place and try to keep it away from direct sunlight; this will ensure that sauce stays fresh and yummy all the time.
