Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the green goddess sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, basil, parsley, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and garlic. Blend until smooth.
Add water to the sauce as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta with the green goddess sauce until well-coated.

Garnish with Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegan version, swap the Greek yogurt for dairy-free yogurt and omit the Parmesan cheese.

Add extra veggies like cherry tomatoes, peas, or spinach for more flavor and nutrition.
