Or was I just incredibly hungry?
I certainly must live up to your expectations with my title. But I´m not kidding here! It´s hearty, full of good stuff for your body, extremely easy to make even if you´re not this Nigella-ish figure (pun might be intended) in your kitchen. I certainly am not. I like easy stuff. I´ve just recently experienced with food prepping, but I still don´t like spending hours in front of my stove. Or dehydrator for that matter.
Seriously, this is one damn fine pasta recipe, folks! It´s vegan, but can be used as a side dish to poultry or fish. To add some extra proteins, why not stir-fry tofu...you get the point. I can imagine that by adding some pine kernels to the top could make it even tastier. Try whatever you want! The basic recipe is incredibly simple. I came up with the idea mainly because I had these ingredients in my pantry and actually the whole idea was to make this hummus-like dip. I accidentally used this as a pasta sauce and FELL IN LOVE immediately. So, spreading the love here.
Please try this recipe and if you want, leave a comment and maybe even some ways to make this recipe EVEN better, if possible - either via this blog or Instagram.
VEGAN LENTIL AND AVOCADO PASTA SAUCE
1 ripe avocado (cause we need it to be really mushy and creamy)
250g red lentils (lazy asses like me can use the ones that are ready-to-eat)
Lemon or lime
A small handfull of parsley, basil or other herbs of your choice. I used flat-leaf parsley.
Chili (either fresh or )
Salt and pepper
0,5-1 tbs tomatopure (or ketchup! anything tomatoish will do)
Just add all the main ingredients together in a bowl. Use a hand blender to make a creamy, smooth-textured sauce or put everything in a blender. Add about half of lemons juice, maybe even less if you want your sauce to be less tangy. Add sea-salt, pepper and chili. Taste! Start with a little less with your spices and add up if necessary.
That´s it :) You´ll get your plant based proteins from lentils, lots of good fats from avokado and a great taste for sure. Cook some pasta and add this sauce in to mix it well with pasta when pasta when it´s still warm. I guarantee you will love it! And try also using it as a dip for your veggies, just like you would do with hummus. Or nachos if you´re an addict like me.
No pic this time. Ate the fucker before taking one.
