Ingredients
 
 

  • 250 g spaghetti or other pasta of your choice
  • 2 avocados peeled and pitted
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast *)
  • 6 tablespoons pasta cooking water
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil and/or cilantro (coriander)
  • 1 pinch salt and 1 more teaspoon for the pasta cooking water
  • black pepper

Optional toppings

  • 1 tomato or a few cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 1 stalk spring onion (scallion) the green part, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons pine nuts toasted in a dry pan without oil
  • some (homemade) vegan feta

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta: Cook the spaghetti or other pasta in salted water according to the package instructions.
  • Prepare the avocado sauce: While the pasta is cooking, add the avocados, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, nutritional yeast, and herbs to a food processor or small blender.
  • Add pasta water and blend: Shortly before the pasta is ready, reserve 6 tablespoons of the cooking water and add it to the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Toss the pasta with the sauce: Drain the pasta, return it to the still-hot pot, and immediately toss it with the avocado sauce. Don't put the pot back on a hot burner – the sauce should only be warmed by the residual heat of the pasta. If you like, stir in the chopped tomatoes as well.
  • Serve: Divide the avocado pasta among plates and top with tomatoes, spring onions, toasted pine nuts, and vegan feta as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The nutritional values were calculated without the optional ingredients.
  • Without a blender: Mash the avocados with a fork, finely chop or crush the garlic, and chop the herbs. Mix everything with the remaining sauce ingredients. The sauce will be a little chunkier and less creamy, but just as delicious.
