Steps for Preparation

The best part about this creamy avocado pasta, is that while you’re cooking the pasta, you can quickly prepare the sauce.

Step 1: Mash an avocado in a bowl until it’s of creamy consistency. For a creamy avocado pasta sauce, you’ll want to make sure you use a ripe avocado.

Step 2: Add your lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Since this recipe calls for raw garlic, you’ll want to make sure it’s grated. Small garlic bits are crucial for achieving the perfect recipe.
