  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 10 ounces penne pasta (whole wheat recommended)

– 2 cloves garlic

– Juice of 1 lemon

– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

– Salt and black pepper to taste

– 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with Avocado Goat Cheese Pasta is a breeze, and this guide walks you through each step to ensure success. First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 10 ounces of penne pasta until it’s al dente, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes just follow the package instructions for the best results. While the pasta cooks, focus on the sauce by blending the 2 large avocados, 2 ounces of goat cheese, 2 cloves of garlic, juice of 1 lemon, and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves in a food processor until it’s smooth and creamy.

2-Season the sauce: Once blended, season the sauce with salt and black pepper to your liking, adjusting for that perfect balance of flavors. Next, drain the pasta and toss it in a large bowl with the sauce, making sure every noodle is evenly coated for that rich, creamy texture. Finally, gently stir in the 1 cup of halved grape tomatoes and serve right away to enjoy the fresh, vibrant taste at its peak.

Notes

πŸ‹ Use fresh lemon juice to minimize browning of the avocado sauce if prepared ahead.
⏳ The sauce can be made a few hours in advance; it may brown slightly but will still taste great.
🍝 Substitute goat cheese with milder or herbed varieties for a flavor twist, or try different pasta like gnocchi.
