Notes

  • Make sure to use fresh, ripe avocados for pasta sauce. They make up the bulk of the texture and flavor, and you won't want to miss out on how creamy a ripe avocado can be!
  • Bottled lime juice will work in a pinch, but fresh lime juice makes a world of difference. Fresh juice will have a certain tartness and bite that bottled loses, adding depth to the sauce.
  • This pasta sauce is a beautiful vibrant green when fresh, but be warned, it can start browning if left out. Be sure to serve it right away to keep a lovely color and texture!
