Instructions
- Cook your dry pasta according to directions. Store-bought fresh pasta often contains eggs, so check the label.
- While your pasta is cooking, put your pesto, avocado,and lemon juice in your food processor and pulse until it's smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. The added lemon juice usually means you can cut back on salt. It also keeps the avocado from going brown.
- Toss your pasta with your easy, delicious pesto sauce.
- Serve topped with veggies of choice, a generous sprinkle of Cashew Crumbles and a side of fresh, grainy bread. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Try adding other roasted or chopped raw veggies or just enjoy the flavourful pesto.
This pairs well with a Roasted Asparagus Flatbread.
