Avocado Pasta with oven-baked vegetables is a very easy recipe and where Penne Pasta is made with creamy avocado sauce and topped with oven-baked vegetables 🙂
creamy avocado sauce
I love eating avocados. I mean yeah, apart from guacamole, I like to add avocados in simple salad recipes, mix fruit dish etc.
The idea of making a pasta sauce from avocados was in my mind for a long time. I wanted to incorporate avocados in the sauce especially because of its creamy texture.
At Priya’s Curry Nation, My mission is to share recipes with simple ingredients and recipes which are easy to make. This avocado sauce is made with fresh ripe avocados, Cream, and some basic seasoning. This tastes heavenly 😉
Oven-baked vegetables
And this is my personal favorite part;) I LOVE baked vegetables. I baked my fresh vegetables until they get brownish. I used oil, salt, and pepper only.
Pasta with any vegetables is a great combo(At least for me). I have already shared pasta with crisp cauliflower and lemon sauce pasta with beans here. Today’s pasta recipe is different because of it’s sauce.
