5-Ingredient Avocado Alfredo Pasta [mGF, V]

October 19, 2017 by 918 Plate Leave a Comment

This avocado alfredo is creamy, rich, and smooth, filled with cheese and topped off with some salt (and maybe a little extra cheese)!

It’s getting a little scarce around here, you guys. Justin is finally coming home this weekend for a while week… and I have yet to go to the grocery store for anything involving cooking for myself (although I did go to buy stuff to make more No-Chicken Noodle Soup for church group…but I actually put chicken in it! I also made this simple avocado alfredo pasta when he was gone – it turned out so amazing that I made it for him, and I also ate the leftovers a couple of days ago. It’s perfect when you don’t have a whole lot left laying around!

This is a super fast and easy dinner if you’re home alone, or even feeding a crowd! I know that most avocado-based sauces exist to help “vegan-fy” foods that you love. This is not that type of sauce. It’s got 5 ingredients: Avocado, milk, cheese (Well…I guess two types of cheese), salt, pasta. Yep. That’s it. It can be gluten-free if you use your favorite gluten free pasta!

This post is short and sweet this week because this recipe is easy-peasy and delicious, so I just want you to go ahead and hop to it!
