Fettucine w/avocado sauce (photo swiped from Google search)
Here’s a delicious recipe I found in Woman’s World. It’s a much healthier version of fettucine alfredo, so I re-named it “fettucine avocado.” This is what my husband and I had for a late lunch today and it was amazing!
Avocado is one of the healthy fats that your body needs to function (and actually burn fat!) Avocados contain potassium, B vitamins and more lutein than any other fruit.
This version is fettucine has no animal ingredients at all, so it’s perfect for vegans.
Add a small salad as a side dish and you have a perfect Sunday meal!
Fettucine Avocado
Prepare two servings of pasta. (I used artichoke fettucine style pasta.)
While that’s cooking, pulse (in blender or food processor) two peeled garlic gloves, juice from 1/2 a lemon, two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil (I always used cold-pressed because it’s healthiest) and two tablespoons of water until smooth.
Then add a medium sized avocado (pitted of course) and one fresh basil leaf and pulse until creamy. (The recipe called for salt, but I didn’t use any).
Pour over pasta and add pepper to taste.
DELICIOUS!
Looks super yummy.
OMG–this looks amazing—ok but what does it mean to “pulse” something?
“Pulse” in the food processor (or blender works just as good).
Yummy!! Hugs Paula x
Sounds delicious.
Mmm, that looks good!
Oh, yum! This looks and sounds fantastic!
this looks like something I could do
Looks delicious too.
LOL! If I could do it, you could do it! I’m in no way, shape or form, a cook, but sometimes I’ll do a food prep or stove top cooking dish that surprises myself
My human mommy says, “Yum!” She can’t wait to try the recipe.
And maybe she’ll give you some (after a little table begging?)
Because it’s healthy, I may get a little taste!
