My favorite food is, and always has been, Avocados. You can eat them with everything, and trust me when I say I definitely do! I stumbled across some Avocado Pasta on Pinterest and knew I had to try it! I modified it to include all my favorite foods- tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and of course I added an extra avocado. 😉 Avocado lovers, you are in for a treat!

Is this a hot or cold dish? It says cooked pasta but is the pasta hot or cold?

That looks delicious. I usually have a salad with avocados when I have pasta, but I had never thought to try using the avocados as part of the pasta sauce.

I made this for my family and we thought it was pretty terrible! My toddler wouldn't touch it and she usually eats anything with noodles. I think the raw garlic is what ruined it. Maybe it would be better if they were sautéed first??
