Avocado Lime Pasta
This is a great recipe for summer, zesting up pasta with fresh mint, lime and avocado. It's really simple and easy, but so tasty.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cup whole grain pasta, use gluten-free pasta (rice, corn, quinoa) if needed
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 2 Tbsp green onion, chopped
- 2 clove fresh garlic, pressed
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, optional
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper
- 1 cup spinach, sliced (or another leafy green)
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Start a pot of lightly salted water boiling, and add the pasta once it gets to a full boil.
- If using spinach or collards, chop them up and put them on a plate or shallow bowl. Chop the mint and zest the lime.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, then return it to the pot and add the seasonings and lime juice. Mash 1/4 of the avocado and toss with the pasta.
- Serve the pasta topped with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and nutritional yeast. If using sprouts, place them on top rather than underneath.
