By In keeping up with the theme of getting and staying healthy, I have been trying out new dishes in the kitchen. Some of the recipes are old favorites and some are new! For me, the kitchen and cooking are stress relievers so I always like to try something new.
So I was craving some pasta (and yes I use organic pasta with gluten regularly) but I did not want anything heavy as my sauce or tomato-y. I needed to be creative with limited ingredients and time -I was not about to start cooking a full gourmet dinner at 7-something at night.
The result?
I made a quick homemade avocado sauce that was light but very flavorful! It can be served cold like a pasta salad but I did serve it warm last night!
Ingredients:
1 Large Haas Avocado
1/4-1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
1.5 Tbsp Onion Powder
Fresh Black Pepper to taste
Mash and mix everything together (you can put it in the food processor for a creamier sauce). Top and serve!
Both my husband and I cleaned up the bowl! It was great especially on a warm/hot night for something light.
It was high in good cholesterol, easy to digest, flavorful, and with low/no salt.
Inquiring minds want to know… Have you tried a new recipe for an old favorite? Are you an avocado lover or is it not your cup of tea??
Yummy! This got me drooling. I used to do something similar – miss the avocados! Thanks for sharing your recipe <3
Thank you! It is so simple and yet so healthy! Just wanted to change things up a bit. Let me know if you have any suggestions to try! 🙂
I have a recipe ebook somewhere on my blog if you want to have a look. I would put the link here but I don’t want to be spam xD I think it’s under the ‘wellbeing clinic’ tab -> ‘resources’ -> ‘wellbeing kit’. I used to be more in the kitchen doing healthy fast food but I relocated and it has been difficult to go back to it. I will keep a look on yours xx
