Creamy Green Goddess Vegan & Gluten-Free Pasta
7 mins prepServes 2
A creamy, veggie-packed pasta dish featuring an avocado pesto-like sauce, made with fresh gluten-free pasta. It's quick to make, taking about 10 minutes, and is suitable for dinner with leftovers for breakfast.
1. Start by boiling water for your pasta, making sure to salt it.
2. Meanwhile, add the fresh spinach, ripe avocado, large spoonful of hummus, juice from 1/2 a lemon, 2 cloves of garlic, handful of fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste, and a splash of olive oil to a blender. Blend until smooth. The sauce will be slightly on the thicker side.
3. Add your fresh gluten-free pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes for fresh pasta).
4. Once pasta is ready, drain it, but reserve some of the pasta water.
5. Add the cooked pasta back to the warm pot along with the blended sauce.
6. Stir and add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
7. Serve pasta with any of your favorite toppings, such as arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red pepper flakes.
