Easy & Creamy Avocado Pasta Vegan "Guacaghetti"
This creamy vegan avocado pasta is easy and quick to make, healthy and so good! I like to call this addictive spaghetti with avocado sauce "guacaghetti".
Useful equipment
- mini blender *)
Ingredients
- 250 g spaghetti or another pasta of your choice
- 2 avocados peeled and pitted
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast *)
- 6 tbsp pasta cooking water
- 1-2 tbsp fresh basil and/or coriander
- 1 pinch salt and 1 more tsp for the pasta cooking water
- black pepper
Optional toppings
- 1 tomato or a few cocktail tomatoes chopped
- 1 stalk of spring onions the green part cut into thin rings
- 1-2 tbsp pine nuts toasted in a pan without adding oil
- some (homemade) vegan feta
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, mix all the ingredients for the sauce: avocados, garlic clove, olive oil, lime juice, yeast flakes, pasta cooking water, and herbs in the food processor or mini blender.Alternatively, you can mash the avocado with a fork, press or finely chop the garlic, and also finely chop the herbs and mix with the other ingredients. Tastes just as good, but not as creamy.
- Drain the noodles, put them back in the hot pot, combine, and mix them with the sauce - otherwise, the dish will cool down too much. You can also mix in the tomatoes at the same time (and save a few for topping/garnishing).
- Add toppings to the finished pasta as desired.
