Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed for thinning)

  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast or grated parmesan (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Pasta:

  • 12 oz pasta of choice (spaghetti, linguine, fusilli, or gluten-free)

  • 1 cup steamed broccoli or peas (optional for extra greens)

  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (as needed)

  • Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, extra herbs, or parmesan

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining. Set pasta aside.

  • Make the Sauce:
    In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, basil, parsley, spinach, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, water, and nutritional yeast or parmesan if using. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Toss It All Together:
    In the pot or a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the green goddess sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the noodles.

  • Serve:
    Mix in steamed veggies if using. Top with extra herbs, a sprinkle of cheese or red pepper flakes, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh since the avocado sauce can brown over time.

  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for a protein boost.

  • Use gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free friendly.
