This creamy avo basil pasta has been one of my go-to meals for years. It’s super quick to make and a perfect dinner. It’s also delicious cold and makes for a great cold pasta leftover lunch.
Using herbs in foods
I have always loved using herbs in meals. They bring completeness to meals and add such a wonderful aroma and flavor. My ultimate favorite herb is basil.
There is something special about basil and it goes well with pretty much everything. This creamy avo pasta can be made without the basil, but the basil does add a level of depth and such a delicious flavor which brightens this pasta.
Keeping it simple
This creamy avo basil sauce is made from 6 simple ingredients. An avocado, basil, garlic, almond milk, lemon juice and salt. That’s it. Blended up for a few minutes on high and poured over your pasta and dinner is ready. 15 minute dinners? Heck yes please!!
From raw vegan to gluten free

This pasta can easily be raw vegan by using zucchini or raw vegetable noodles, gluten free if using gluten free pasta or served with traditional wheat noodles. It’s also a fantastic salad dressing. It’s super diverse.
