Recipe Description

Avocado Pasta is my one-pot, one-person quick pasta dinner. I love this recipe for its simplicity. It tastes absolutely delicious too! Creamy and bursting with the fresh flavor of garlic, lime and cilantro. I sometimes fry an egg and place it on top but that’s totally up to you!

It couldn’t be easier to make this dish. Simply cook your pasta according to the package. Blend the avocado, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil and toss with the pasta. Thin the avocado sauce out with pasta water if needed. Top with a fried egg and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro.

To make my Avocado Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:
