Creamy Avocado Pasta

I know it's been a while since I posted a recipe. The truth is, I've hardly been cooking. And if I do, it is quick, easy peasy stuff. Stuff not worth photographing and writing about. Until now that is...

Life is busy, and when I do have time for myself, I'd rather get out and enjoy the beautiful summer weather we've been getting. Gotta take advantage of it, summer doesn't last long here!

CK and I are lovin this recipe, and the best part is that this is a healthy option that perfectly satisfies that craving for a rich, creamy pasta. I swear it's better than pasta alfredo!

This recipe makes 3 servings.

Method
