Avocado Pasta is amazing at the best of times.  Add a little basil and zesty lemon and you’re on a winner!

If you’re after a quick and very simple creamy pasta, you will love this Avocado Pasta.  It’s also fresh and healthy which is a massive bonus.

Big love to MoM Member Monique for sharing her Avocado Pasta recipe – we know it’s going to be a winner with everyone who gives it a try.

Did you know avocados first arrived in Australia in 1840 in seed form? They were planted in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney. Imports of seeds and plants continued over the next 110 years. By the late 1960’s a developing Australian industry began to take shape so imports were no longer needed.

There are two main types of avocados grown in Australia.  The Hass Avocado and the Shepherd Avocado.

The Hass is known for it’s green through to dark purple rough skin and creamy texture.  The Shepherd Avocado is loved for it’s fine, bright green skin. We love that the flesh doesn’t go brown once cut.  The Shepherd avocado has a buttery, nutty taste and texture.

Either type of avocado would work beautifully in this Avocado Pasta recipe.

If you’re a big Avocado fan, you should love this Avocado Pasta recipe!

  • This is just a perfect autumn or spring pasta — when it’s too hot for the comfort food of spag bol, etc. I’m going to try this one this week.
