I love avocados. LOVE them! So when I saw this pasta I thought ??? I just had to try it. I'll admit as I made it I started to get a little worried though ... I'd printed out the recipe but hadn't looked closely at it and so when I realized there was no cream in this 'creamy' sauce I started to think this may end up tasting like guacamole on top of pasta ... yuck!
Looks like guacamole doesn't it? I remained concerned as I stirred it into the pasta ... there is something about it that looked more like green slime than dinner.
Once I got it served up with the tomatoes, parm and pinenuts it did look better but I wasn't trusting anything until I tried it. I thought this may turn out like the other pasta I'd tried - the olive one ... I loved every ingredient and hated the dish. So strange. Thankfully this one proved to be a nice surprise!
Hubby approved and so do I. If I'd tried it without making it I would swear the sauce is cream based. This would be perfect for the vegetarian or vegan (though I'd have to check if the pasta has eggs or milk obviously). I served it with a side salad to give us more veggies ... a little homemade champagne vinaigrette on top and there is dinner.
