Heating up the avocado pasta sauce
As you pour the sauce over the warm pasta, it will naturally heat up a little bit. Serve immediately!
It’s not recommended that the sauce is heated or reheated (since it’s mainly made from avocados, which can brown). However, the sauce can be served warm over the pasta (as mentioned above) or cold! Both ways are delicious.
What to pair this avocado pasta sauce with
The pasta – pour this pasta sauce over fettuccine, penne, linguine, tortellini, rigatoni, or rotini. Looking for a lower-carb, gluten-free option? Try out this low-carb pasta made out of chickpeas (opens in a new tab) (it’s amazing) or zucchini noodles! The pasta options are endless.
Your choice of protein – add chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, tofu, chickpeas, or any protein of choice!

Are these normal spinach leaves or baby spinach? Does the normal spinach need to be blanched ?
Hey Ambira, Thanks for the question! Any fresh spinach will work and no need to blanch the spinach! Enjoy!
Can you use frozen spinach?
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think I would recommend it since the texture is pretty different. I would stick to fresh if possible!
I’ve never had avocado in pasta before. Your dish looks so delicious I just have to try it.
I’m always looking for a healthy meal for my grandson and try to incorporate vegetables in his diet because he doesn’t eat any veggies served on his plate. This looks great and I’m thrilled to try it
I am such a fan of quick delicious meals and this is definitely going on my list to make soon. Recipe pinned! It looks outstanding! Thanks for the inspo!
What a yummy sauce! I love that it has cashew in it as well. It sounds so hearty and really easy to make!
