Creamy, avocado & walnut pasta
Hi everyone, I hope you are having a nice week!
Do you ever crave a big bowl of creamy pasta? I do, a lot. Today I had one of those days where I couldn’t get pasta out of my mind. While looking through my cupboards, I noticed I had two ripe avocados and as I don’t like wasting food, I wondered if I could use them to create a healthy pasta dish.
This isn’t a dish I had created or eaten before, so I had to play about with the flavors a bit. I am pleased to tell you that I cooked a delicious bowl of vegan avocado pasta.
