You've heard of avocado toast, but I guarantee you've never seen avocado like this before... my Creamy Avocado Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes is the most delicious, creamy, dairy-free pasta that will absolutely blow your mind.

Ingredients

For the Roasted Tomatoes

2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes (or the small vine ripened tomatoes)
4 Cloves Garlic mashed
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

For the Avocado Pasta

1 Package Spaghetti Pasta (12 - 14 ounces)
3 Large Avocados ripe
1 Large Shallot diced
¾ Cup Cilantro
3 Cloves Garlic
1 Lemon juiced
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
½ Cup Dairy-Free Cream Cheese can also substitute regular cream cheese
1 Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes plus more for garnishing, if desired.

Instructions

Start by roasting the tomatoes. Preheat your oven to 400F.
In an 8×8 baking dish, add the tomatoes, mashed garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are well-coated. Then, bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until blistered.
While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the pasta. Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente.
Drain the pasta, and reserve about 3/4 cup of the pasta water for later. Set aside.
Next, prepare the sauce. In a blender or food processor, add the avocados, shallot, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, cream cheese, salt, and red pepper. Blend/process until very smooth and there are no chunks. Taste and add more salt/pepper as needed.
Pour the sauce over the pasta, and add pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce, if necessary. Coat pasta well.
Add the roasted tomatoes and serve immediately. Enjoy!
