The avocado blends into a velvety sauce that clings to every noodle, while garlic and lemon juice add a punch that’ll make your taste buds dance. Plus, it’s meal-prep friendly—because who has time to cook every night?

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or whatever’s lurking in your pantry)
  • 1 ripe avocado (no, rock-hard ones won’t work—patience, friend)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or 3 if you’re brave)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh, not the sad bottled stuff)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin, because you’re fancy now)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste, but don’t be shy)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes, Parmesan (or nutritional yeast for vegans), cherry tomatoes, basil

How to Make It: Step-by-Step

  1. Cook the pasta al dente. Save ½ cup of pasta water—you’ll need it later.

    Pro tip: Salt the water like the sea, or your pasta will taste like regret.


  2. Blend the sauce: Pit the avocado, scoop it into a blender, and add garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blitz until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
  3. Toss it all together: Drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the avocado sauce.

    Stir like your life depends on it, adding pasta water as needed to make it silky.


  4. Serve immediately with toppings like red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, or fresh herbs. Instagram optional but highly encouraged.

How to Store It (Because Leftovers Happen)

Avocado sauce turns brown faster than a banana in a heatwave. To keep it fresh: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of leftovers before refrigerating.

Eat within 24 hours—or freeze the sauce alone for up to a month. Reheat gently with a splash of water to revive the creaminess.

Beyond tasting like a cheat meal, this pasta is nutrient-dense. Avocados deliver healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins (hello, glowing skin).

It’s also vegan-friendly and easily customizable. Plus, it’s faster than waiting for delivery—because hunger waits for no one.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using unripe avocados: If it’s harder than your life decisions, it won’t blend smoothly.
  • Skipping the pasta water: This isn’t just H2O—it’s liquid gold for sauciness.
  • Overcooking the sauce: Heat turns avocado bitter. Toss quickly and serve.

Swaps and Tweaks

Want protein? Add grilled chicken or shrimp. Gluten-free?

Use your favorite GF pasta. This recipe is more flexible than a yoga instructor.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Not if you want it green. The sauce browns quickly, so blend it fresh.

FYI, lemon juice helps slow the oxidation—but it’s not a miracle worker.

Why is my sauce clumpy?

Did you forget the pasta water? Or maybe your avocado was underripe. Blend longer, and add liquid until it’s smoother than your pickup lines.

Is this kid-friendly?

Depends.

If your kid eats anything green (unicorn food doesn’t count), yes. If not, call it “green mac and cheese” and pray.

Can I freeze the sauce?

Yes, but the texture changes slightly. Thaw in the fridge and re-blend with a little water or lemon juice to revive it.
