This recipe is brought to you by my (real-life) friend, Rebecca. This is a vegan recipe that she often eats for lunch at work, and I decided it looked so yummy that I wanted to try it myself. Ryan and I had it for supper with a salad and it was super tasty. Even Ryan liked this recipe, and he was definitely unsure about the idea of avocado, lime and pasta together.
I doubled Rebecca’s recipe, and my modifications are listed below.
Avocado-lime pasta
In a food processor, pulse:
2 avocados
2 limes, juiced
3 cloves of garlic
Bunch of cilantro, chopped
Add olive oil until it reaches desired consistency (it will be similar to a pesto).
Toss with a half-box of wheat pasta, cooked. Serve cold.
This would also make a really good side dish, but we enjoyed it as the main meal. =)
Happy weekend, friends!
Oh, I used garden vegetable pasta instead of wheat pasta and added two fresh tomatoes in with the pasta as well. Very, very tasty!
I’ve been thinking about this ever since you posted it and I finally made it for lunch today.
Best. Lunch. Ever.
Thank you so much for sharing. I think I found a new favorite food. Stephen will never eat it. Joseph doesn’t believe me when I tell him it’s tasty, but that’s ok. MORE FOR ME!
There is a recipe like this floating around pintrest. I made it this summer, kind of….I used lemon instead of lime and basil for cilantro. Good enough I guess.
Oh man, my husband. He’s like, sooo did you see that avocado pasta recipe on Kim’s blog? You gonna make that? Huh? Are ya?
So thanks for making more work for me. Kidding, I could eat an avocado whole, so this is right up my alley.
Oh my, I think I just found dinner!! Going to check out some more of your recipes.
Are those noodles organic??? If not, they really should be. A good mom would eat organic noodles. 😉
This sounds so great!!
Ahhhhh this looks SO good! Wow – I’m dying to try this!
That looks really yummy! I love avocado and lime! And pasta for that matter… 🙂
Oh this is my kind of recipe. I’ve restricte myself to pasta 2x a month so this is going in the rotation!
Mmm this looks like a combo of guac and pasta – two of my favs!
Oh man (I mean lady) I just slapped my own forehead. I totally made a recipe VERY similar to this last summer and forgot all about it.
Nom.
This sounds really tasty! And avocados have been on sale for awhile, so I’ll have to try it!
OOOOO! Avocados are one of my favorite foods. I can’t wait to try this! I think this is going to have to be a lunch dish since Stephen won’t even touch avocados or anything green. But Joseph and I can enjoy it!
This looks ridiculously amazing! And my husband will love it. Double bonus! Thanks for the recipe!
YUM! Adding this to next week’s menu. Thanks KiM!
YUM! I think that looks great. I don’t know about picky, whiney T, but I could see myself enjoying this dish.
FYI, I noticed your recipe posted twice yesterday and I see this one twice today. I just wanted to let you know in case it’s a glitch or something!
This sounds delish! I will definitly be making this for lunch soon. I wish my MR. would eat it, but he won’t eat any of the ingrediants alone, so certainly not altogher. LOL! He is too picky.
