Tara’s Tips For Perfect Creamy Spinach Avocado Sauce:

  • Use fresh spinach! Frozen spinach will absolutely not work here. Save the frozen spinach to sauté it! (How To Saute Frozen Spinach)
  • Make sure your avocado is ripe enough.  If your avocado is too hard, it will not blend correctly!
  • Adjust salt + pepper when done blending to your taste.  I like things a little spicy, so I add extra red pepper flakes at the end.  You do you!
  • Blend with HOT water.  The makes the sauce just the right temperature to pour right onto your pasta without having to heat it up.
  • If you have any leftovers (if!), they will only be good for one day.  Remember, this sauce is made with an avocado so it will brown.
  • Want to make this more like a pesto? Toss in 1/4 cup of walnuts or pine nuts + 2 tbsp nutritional yeast.
  • Need a cold avocado sauce for a salad? Try this recipe: Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing (No Oil!).
