I was so craving Alfredo tonight - like REALLY craving it. It's been a day full of cravings. Anyway, I found this recipe with the hopes that it would temper that need for buttery goodness. It did a pretty good job. I tried to make zucchini noodles with it, but that didn't go so well. Whole wheat penne got subbed in at the last minute. I threw in some slices of bell pepper and yellow onion along with blackened chicken, just for fun. I'm not much of a sauce person in general so I didn't totally coat my pasta. I'm sure it would be yummy with more on it too.
Ingredients
10 oz whole wheat pasta (or zucchini noodles)
1 avocado
1 cup fresh spinach
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp basil
1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
1 cup pasta water (or chicken/veggie stock)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Begin cooking pasta and any vegetables/meat you would like to add to the pasta.
- While pasta is cooking, add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.
- Once pasta is cooked, add desired amount of sauce pasta, and vegetables (optional) to skillet and heat for 2 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
