Green Pasta
Description
Green Pasta features linguine cooked to al dente, tossed with a sauce made from ripe avocados and fresh peas blended with basil and parsley. The sauce uses milk to achieve a creamy consistency, while garlic powder and onion powder provide a mild aromatics base, balanced with salt and black pepper. Heating the sauce before combining it with the pasta helps meld the flavors while keeping the green vibrance. This results in a smooth, herbaceous pasta with a mellow garlic note and a fresh texture from the peas.
This dish works well as a light lunch or dinner, suitable for those wanting a creamy sauce without dairy cream. The fresh herbs and avocado provide richness and brightness, making it satisfying served alone or alongside a protein.
