Avocado Basil Sauce
Hands down, EASIEST pasta sauce you’ll EVER make.
And likely most satisfying, if you’re an avocado lover like I am. Who remember’s the Avo-Cado text from Winecoach when he was food shopping? if you do, let me know. That still makes me chuckle!
This is a quick and Easy sauce to smother your favorite pasta in! I poured it over My favorite stuffed pasta: Cheese tortellini. This beloved, and essentially 3 ingredient Avocado Sauce to which I’ve added a very fresh ingredient from the new herb garden: BASIL! Simple and amazing, Guilt-Free pasta sauce! Feel free to experiment and pour over ANY pasta of your choice, or vegetable “pasta” such as noodles.
What is going on here:

- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
