| Today’s recipe combines two of my favorite things: avocados and pesto pasta! If you have young children who may not eat all the vegetables on their plate, this recipe is for you — the avocado is blended into the sauce, adding fiber and healthy fats without altering the texture. And if you don’t have kids, this recipe still makes for an easy but satiating weeknight dinner. Yum! |

| Avocado and basil pesto pasta |
| Pesto doesn’t have to be just basil — you may have had other ingredients blended into the sauce, like sun-dried tomatoes, pistachios, or even kale. In fact, you can add almost anything to a basil pesto base, so why not try adding avocado? |
| Avocados aren’t just a delicious addition; they’re full of key nutrients, too. They’re a good source of vitamins C, E, and K, as well as B vitamins. Avocados can also help support your gut health and reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Best of all, they’re versatile and can be added to all types of dishes, from breakfast to dessert — this recipe is a testament to that versatility! |
