CHERRY TOMATO PASTA WITH AVOCADO SAUCE
Heart-healthy avocado makes this pasta dish feel indulgent without being overly rich. The flavorful sauce is so luscious, you'll think there is cream hiding in there. It's guilt-free and dairy-free, but with a texture and consistency that's similar to traditional cream-based sauces. -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

FETTUCCINE WITH AVOCADO TOMATO SAUCE
I hesitate to call it a sauce, it's a lovely medley of flavours. You can add more garlic and adjust the rest of the seasonings to taste...but for me..the lime juice was the best addition to the sauce! If you like it spicy, add one more chili pepper to the mix! I paired it with a spinach salad to get more greens into my family and everyone cleaned their plates. Enjoy! **VEGAN OPTION: Choose pasta that's made without eggs.
