Vegan Avocado Pesto Pasta Recipe. I love this dish. It is one of the easiest but yummiest pastas you will make... It is a raw pesto sauce which makes it 10x easier. I always get great satisfaction knowing that you have made a delicious dish that only takes 10 to 20 minutes. You can practically have everything ready in the time you have cooked the pasta. I love the garlicy, basily and lemony tastes that go SO well with the avocado cream sauce. This dish has become a weekly staple for Jerome and I due to the tastiness and the ease of cooking. 11/12/2012 update - I have actually changed the recipe... quite a lot. Serves 4 Sauce: 2 medium avocados (400g) 2 large garlic cloves 1 cup tightly packed basil leaves salt and pepper 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil Other: 500g pasta of choice 2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes, halved lemon wedges to serve fresh basil leaves to garnish vegan parmesan cheese Cook pasta according to packet instructions.
