During our last week at our old apartment, I was craving a creamy pasta dish, like I always do, but I only had a few ingredients left in the fridge. I had to think about how I could get that same satisfying taste of an alfredo-like sauce without going to the store and I was lucky enough to have one ripe avocado and a half a block of tofu left. I whipped up this delicious sauce in no time, and though it isn’t the most visually appealing dish, it tasted so good, I just had to share it. Avocado lovers will definitely get joy out of this decadent, mouth-watering pasta that just so happens to be healthy too.

Print Spinach-Avocado Green Pasta Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook/Cool Time: 15 minutes My Latest Videos Total Time: 20 minutes Yield: 2 servings Penne pasta smothered in a creamy spinach-avocado sauce. Ingredients 1 ripe avocado

1/2 block tofu, drained and pressed

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

1 cup fresh baby spinach

6 basil leaves

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

2 cups penne pasta Instructions Add ingredients for the sauce to a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside. In the same pot, add sauce and cook for a few minutes until hot. Stir in pasta and serve immediately. Notes This sauce is incredibly easy to make and to customize. I was trying to use up the rest of the ingredients in our fridge before our move, so I added what I had on hand. But I think this pasta would be really tasty with some sundried tomatoes, or even fresh tomatoes and peas would be good too. 3.1 http://veganfoodlover.com/green-pasta/ VeganFoodLover.com
