I love avocado!! It is one of my absolute favorite things to eat. Period. Luckily, both of my kids love avocado, too. It was the one of the first real foods that I gave to both of them when they started eating “real people” food. To this day, Owen (16 months) can eat a whole avocado on his own in one sitting! He loves it! And this Creamy Avocado Pasta is a crowd pleaser in our home, too!
This pasta is a super quick dinner… It can basically be put together in as much time as it takes to cook your pasta noodles… about 15 minutes!
Quick, easy, healthy and definitely a family favorite! It’s easily customizable since you start with plain noodles and add the sauce and toppings. You could easily leave out the Jalepenos if you’re not a fan of the heat! Or you could add some grilled chicken to make it a little more filling.
