Now I find ways to use them in everything. Combining two of my (now) favorites, pasta and avocados, this 15 minute Creamy Avocado Pasta from Oh She Glows was a perfect Thursday evening dinner. Not only was it quick and healthy, but it was a great way to use the avocados I bought on sale.
They all ripened at the same time, so I doubled the recipe to use them all before they spoiled. I added five garlic cloves, which if you’re not a fan of garlic, I would definitely adhere to Angela’s advice from Oh She Glows and use only one clove. I invited my neighbor to join me for dinner and the first thing she asked was, “What’s spicy?”
I didn’t have fresh basil on hand, so I substituted for dried, but I would definitely recommend using fresh. The only drawback is, because of the avocado, this dish doesn’t reheat well and needs to be served immediately. It would be a perfect light summer dish. Serves 2. Gluten-Free Quinoa Pizza Bites.
