Sneaking in Veggies
This recipe is a testament to the fact that eating your veggies doesn't have to be a chore. By blending avocado, spinach, and basil into a beautifully creamy sauce, you're getting all the nutritional benefits without the texture of vegetables. (Though even more veggies are added in with the addition of crunchy green beans.)
This sauce is rich in healthy fats from the avocado, plant based protein from the hemp seeds (as well as omega-3s), iron from the spinach, and vitamin K from the basil.
Toppings for this Avocado Basil Spinach Creamy Pasta
What makes this pasta so dreamy and creamy is the final toppings. You're going to want to freshly grind black pepper, sprinkle with sea salt, and add red pepper flakes. All of this deepens the flavors and freshness in the sauce while adding a kick!
