Avocado Pasta Tips

Can you use other types of noodles in avocado pasta?

Use whatever noodles you have on hand in place of the spaghetti. The easiest swaps for long noodles are linguine or bucatini, but others will work fine as well. Check out our ultimate guide to pasta shapes for more ideas.

What else can you put in avocado pasta?

Make this avocado pasta a more complete meal by adding your favorite protein like chicken or tofu. Keep the recipe vegan by adding nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, or add queso fresco instead of the optional mozzarella and Parmesan.

How long will leftover avocado pasta last?

While most pasta recipes would last in the fridge for a few days, we recommend eating avocado pasta fresh because the avocado will start to oxidize and turn an interesting color.
