Creamy Avocado Pasta
This thick and creamy avocado pasta recipe is loaded with omega-3s, potassium and tons of flavor. One of my go-to weeknight dinner recipes, this meal takes less than 15 minutes start-to-finish and requires nothing more than a food processor and some basic ingredients.
Enjoy all the creamy-goodness with none of the actual cream! #saucy
