Heating up the avocado pasta sauce
As you pour the sauce over the warm pasta, it will naturally heat up a little bit. Serve immediately!
It’s not recommended that the sauce is heated or reheated (since it’s mainly made from avocados, which can brown). However, the sauce can be served warm over the pasta (as mentioned above) or cold! Both ways are delicious.
What to pair this avocado pasta sauce with
The pasta – pour this pasta sauce over fettuccine, penne, linguine, tortellini, rigatoni, or rotini. Looking for a lower-carb, gluten-free option? Try out this low-carb pasta made out of chickpeas (it’s amazing) or zucchini noodles! The pasta options are endless.
Your choice of protein – add chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, tofu, chickpeas, or any protein of choice! If you’re adding meat, be sure to get organic, high-quality meat through a trusted source like Butcher Box. Here’s a coupon to save $20 and get free shipping on your order of Butcher Box today!

Can you substitute almond milk or other milk for cashew milk?

Yes, absolutely! Just make sure that it is unsweetened and unflavored. 🙂

I made this tonight and used unsweetened original almond milk since that’s what I had on hand. I also squeezed some lemon juice in it and used fresh basil instead of dried. Oh man, it was delicious! Even my son asked for seconds! Definitely making this again!
