20 minutes creamy avocado pasta with cherry tomatoes

April 16, 2021

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

After some time not posting, today I wanted to share a very nice & quick recipe with you all. Also, one of my very first avocado recipes in this blog (which is a shame cause tofucado is 50% avocado territory, and I rarely own that part). So today I wanna talk about this super delicious 20 minutes creamy avocado pasta that oh my god, will make you drool. I decided to make this recipe because I had this crazy idea for a video on my youtube channel (tofucado&books) and I had to make something that went well with it: and this creamy avocado pasta was that thing! Check out the video that inspired this recipe down below:

Ingredients to make this creamy avocado pasta

This pasta is extremely easy to make, you only need a few ingredients and you can easily adjust it according to your own preferences:

  • Pasta: of your choice, obviously. I usually use curly pasta for this type of recipe cause the sauce gets mixed better, but “long” pasta such as spaguetti would also work well.
  • Sauce:
    • Avocado (main ingredient)
    • Spinach: you can use any other “green” veggie, kale would work well with this, swiss chard as well (but it needs to be well cooked)
    • Basil: it gives that umph flavor to the sauce and it will be so so good
    • Herbs: I add some fines herbes, some paprika and some salt & pepper
    • Cream: to make it even better
  • Plus: cherry tomatoes & garlic. Those two together are a match made in heaven, and oh my they add so much to the recipe (plus it makes it colorful!)

How to make this recipe

This recipe is super easy to make, you only need to do three things:

  1. Boil the pasta & cook it according to package instructions, then drain it.
  2. Make the sauce in a mixer (mix all the ingredients together).
  3. Cook the cherry tomatoes & garlic with a bit of olive oil.

Then mix it all together!

Creamy avocado pasta

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time20 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Healthy
Keyword: avocado, cherry tomatoes, pasta
Servings: 2 people

Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados (1 avocado per person)
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 5 garlic cloves If you want it less garlicky, add 1 garlic clove per person
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup frozen spinach You can use fresh too
  • 2 tbsp cream
  • 1 tbsp fines herbes
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 servings of pasta of your choice 1 serving per person

Instructions

Cook the pasta

  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt.
  • When the water is boiling, cook your pasta following package instructions. I cooked mine (cavatappi) for 9 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce & the veggies

Creamy avocado sauce

  • Cook the spinach in a pot, when cooked set aside.
  • In a mixer, add the avocado, the basil leaves, the herbs, the cream and the spinach.
  • Mix well until you have a creamy texture.

In the same pot you cooked the spinach (because we enjoy not washing a million dishes)

  • Add the olive oil, when hot, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)
  • Cook for 5 minutes and set aside.

Assemble

  • Drain the pasta, reserve a tiny bit of that pasta water in case the sauce is too thick.
  • Mix the avocado sauce with the pasta, then add the cherry tomatoes & garlic. Mix everything well.
  • Enjoy!

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

Quick ingredient list: Beans (whatever you want), crushed tomatoes, garlic, cayenne, smoked paprika, cinnamon, ketchup, mustard and vegetable broth.

Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller.

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).

🍝2022 has started in a rough way (tons of stres 🍝2022 has started in a rough way (tons of stress at the job and I was sick for like 10 days which kinda left me tired, unmotivated and well, not feeling the greatest). 

But I prefer looking at the things that went well, and pasta is something that I made well! 

Making homemade pasta was one of my 2022 goals and honestly it has been such a great experience.

So far I've made homemade ravioli (with mushroom+ricotta filling) and tagliatelles and wow, they were so good👌

P.S: this is me trying to be a bit more active on Instagram, be nice 😇
