Directions
This gluten-free Avocado & Bacon Pasta is an amazing dish and has a few options for vegans and for those on a low carb diet. All the options are delicious. Vegans remove the bacon and parmesan cheese and still enjoy creamy and healthy gluten-free pasta with avocado sauce. Those on low carb simply switch the gluten free pasta with zoodles and it’s still delicious and fun as a dinner.
In most recipes, you will see a twist for a pesto sauce with avocado which is great but i feel like the rich taste of the avocado is enough to make a simple dish with ingredients most of us have at home. This is a super delicious dish that takes 10 min to prepare. Pair it with a fresh salad and a glass of red wine and you have a romantic healthy dinner.
The bacon has a fabulous taste and it really works well in the dish but even without it, this is still a creamy and fun dish. To make the avocado paste i simply use a hand mixer and pulse the avocado with some olive oil, garlic, and lemon. i pulse and taste and add salt pepper and lemon until it tastes the way i want it. In the meantime, i heat the pasta. I use gluten-free pasta from quinoa or lentils and even pea. They are all taste great you can hardly feel the difference. If you’re following a low carb diet simply switch the pasta into zoodles it still works great and it becomes a perfect nutritious low carb meal.
