How to Make the Best Avocado Pasta Recipe

This creamy avocado pasta is one of those magical recipes that comes together in under 30 minutes and tastes like something from a fancy restaurant. The secret is blending ripe avocados with fresh lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil into a silky smooth sauce that coats every strand of pasta beautifully.

What makes this dish so special is how incredibly rich and satisfying it is while being completely plant-based. The avocado provides that luscious, creamy texture you’d normally get from heavy cream or cheese, while the lemon juice adds brightness that keeps each bite feeling fresh. Tossing in a handful of peppery arugula at the end adds a lovely contrast of textures and flavors.

Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner, a vegan meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor, or simply a new way to enjoy avocados, this pasta delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll find yourself making again and again.

Ingredients

Pasta

Avocado Sauce

Optional Garnishes

Instructions

Cooking the Pasta

  1. Boil 8 oz pasta in salted water and cook to al dente.

Making the Avocado Sauce

  1. Puree the avocado sauce ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth, scraping down the edges. Taste and adjust salt and lemon to taste.

Assembling the Dish

  1. Toss cooked pasta with avocado sauce and a handful of fresh baby arugula.
  2. Taste again for salt and lemon.
  3. Garnish with lemon zest, fresh cracked pepper, optional toasted pine nuts and fresh basil ribbons if you like. Feel free to add parmesan or vegan parmesan.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados without any brown spots for the creamiest, most vibrant green sauce.
  • Meyer lemons provide a sweeter, more floral flavor, but regular lemon juice works well too—just start with less and adjust to taste.
  • This sauce is best served immediately as avocado can oxidize and turn brown over time.
