Creamy Avocado Pasta…My New Favorite Pasta Dish

Hi, my name is Kelli and I’m addicted to pasta…and Pinterest. I can’t be the only one out there with this problem. I love that Pinterest has given me some great inspiration when it comes to my blog and this week is a perfect example!

Creamy Avocado Pasta_Slider

From the title of this post, you can see that I made Creamy Avocado Pasta. This dish was full of citrus flavor and instead of using a heavy cream, the sauce is made creamy by blending the avocado. What a great use of avocado! I’m used to adding it to tacos, salads, and even sushi, but using it as a base for a sauce was new for me.

Let me tell you, this was a great way to make pasta super flavorful and this dish comes together in 15 minutes tops. Check out the recipe and you’ll see the steps are minimal and you’ll be sure to find a fabulous recipe to add to your arsenal. Any pasta of your choice will work. I opted for some linguine because I had it on hand.

Here’s a tip for you: When making the sauce, use a food processor. I started out making the avocado sauce in the blender so that I could minimize dirty dishes, but it just didn’t do the trick. I had to haul out my food processor to finish the job and it was so worth the extra dishes. πŸ™‚

I was a little concerned about how the leftover pasta would reheat with the base of it being avocado, but it heated up really well for me. However, that means that all of my leftovers are gone, which is quite a bummer.

I can’t wait for you to whip up thisΒ 15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta. It’s seriously so delicious! Click the linkΒ for the super easy recipe and step by step instructions!

What I was cooking up a year ago: The Deliciousness that is Israeli Couscous…

This was such a great week. Definitely check out the coolness that is Israeli Couscous. The Pearled Couscous with Olives and Roasted Tomatoes dish is out of this world good!

  • Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! Today is a day to celebrate all of the beautiful relationships in your life. I'll admit I do think this day is a bit of a commercial one, because we ought to show our love for each other every day. But I'll happily do it today too!
β™₯️
I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. β™₯️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. β™₯️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. β™₯️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. β™₯️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
β™₯️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?
β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd β™₯️to know!
