FYI - Recipe Idea: Pasta with Avocado?
Posted Monday, September 20, 2010 at 12:39 PM
If you like avocados and haven't thought of making it with pasta, I'd like to recommend it. I make this very simple "Avocado Cream Pasta" recipe from the PETA website http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/recipes/avocado-cream-pasta.aspx, but there are others out there with more healthy doctoring I'm sure. It's like alfredo sauce. Yum.
"In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought." Isaac Bashevis Singer, author, Nobel Prize 1978

mmm we like alfredo sauce and we like avocadoes... this looks yummy. We've got a couple avocadoes in the fridge (so they don't over ripen) - maybe we'll give this a try sometime this week. --Deb

There is a restaurant in Sedona, AZ called Picazzo's. They have a pasta/avocado dish that's called Avocado Delish. It is AWESOME. When we are there for vacation I'll eat it at least 3 times in 10 days. It's vegan and you can add chicken if you like. Now you've made me hungry, I may have to plan a trip!

Pasta with avocado sounds awesome! That Peta link is not working for me. Can someone tell me what the ingredients are for either one of these avocado dishes. Thanks!
