Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 SOURCE: www.vegcooking.com Easy Avocado Cream Pasta Avocados are commonly used in guacamole or on sandwiches, but you can also whip the fatty fruit into a delicious creamy sauce. And this weekend—during an at-home Iron Chef-style cook-off with my husband—I discovered that a light avocado cream sauce can be perfectly paired with pasta. The recipe below is one that I, the cook-off winner (!), made during the challenge. It worked well with thin spaghetti, but you might also try it with pasta that is better at holding sauce such as shells or elbow macaroni. Here, I've used red pepper for the sauce, but to make a heartier meal, try topping the dish with pieces of spicy blackened tofu instead. The heat from either goes well with the creamy coolness of the avocado sauce. Enjoy!
