This Avocado Pesto Pasta is packed with fresh herbs, creamy Avocado and Nutritional Yeast for a totally healthy and plant-based sauce.
It’s very easy to do! I prepared first the Pesto by just mixing all the sauce ingredients in a high-speed blender (or food processor) , then made the pasta and before I serve, I just mixed them together. The Avocado Pesto sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer to save on time, but it will darken after a few hours , so it’s always preferable to do it fresh right before serving or just couple of hours before.
