Guacamole Avocado Pasta

 We all know that weeknights are usually quite hectic and so we’re looking for good options to feed our kids. Something quick, healthy and delicious.

We thought it would be fun to create this Guacamole Avocado Pasta.

Guacamole Avocado Pasta

The story behind this pasta is simple but was definitely an accident. Years ago, I was on a deadline for a writing assignment and had only a few hours left but had written straight through breakfast, a snack and I was freakin’ hungry.

I desperately needed to run to the store, but really had no time. The night before we had done a Mexican Fiesta with tacos, nachos and of course, guacamole.

We had leftover guacamole, but I knew that I could not exist just on chips and guac and I was really hungry.

I moved onto pasta. I was just going to whip up some pasta and add some butter/olive oil, minced garlic and parmesan.

It would make a quick lunch and didn’t take long to make. Once the pasta was boiled and drained I was headed to the fridge to grab some butter and parmesan and my eyes fell on the guacamole.

In fact, they lingered on the guacamole.

I really wanted the guacamole.

I wondered how it would taste with pasta. I mean, how bad could a Guacamole Avocado Pasta actually turn out? Guess what? I found out! It was delicious, amazing, subtle flavors. Would be great hot or cold. In fact, it was perfect. It totally hit the spot.

Here we are all these years later and we’ve made it a dozen different ways. Essentially ANY guacamole recipe works.

Add diced tomatoes, bacon, even ham, pork, chicken or other meats work well. Guacamole Avocado Pasta is just an easy, delicious meal!
