Recently tried this new recipe, and it was a mega hit! Doing it again next week!

Avocado Pesto Pasta combines the creamy goodness of ripe avocados with the vibrant flavors of fresh basil, garlic, and lemon. It’s a breezy yet delicious twist on traditional pesto, perfect for busy weeknights when you crave something both satisfying and nourishing. The recipe is quick to throw together, especially if you prep some ingredients in advance. Plus, it’s a great way to incorporate more healthy fats into your diet while keeping everything light and refreshing.
This Avocado Pesto Pasta pairs wonderfully with a fresh garden salad on the side, offering a crunchy contrast to the creamy pasta. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette makes for excellent accompaniments, helping to scoop up every last bit of the luscious pesto sauce. For an added protein boost, consider grilled chicken or sautéed shrimp, which complement the bright flavors of the pesto beautifully.
