Hello My Dearest Foodies,
Spring is still few weeks away, at least here in Canada; nevertheless, I decided to post this recipe for the AVOCADO CONTEST initiated by wonderful @deliciousplants.
I actually made this recipe last year at the end of spring, but I remember like it was yesterday. It was such a beautiful sunny afternoon and I had to move the table into shade to do the photo shoot. Now, when I am looking at these photos I feel the warmth with soft breeze coming trough. Not to forget the the aroma of delicious pasta, lol.
As I said many times before, I am an avocado addict and I cannot imagine my life without them. I love to eat them just the way they are with a pinch of pink salt and other veggies, but sometimes I get creative and I whip up a recipe that may be little bit unorthodox; at least for most people, but not for us vegans, lol. This recipe is a perfect example of that, while I am using some of my favorite ingredients, including avocado. It really turned out delicious and I highly recommend you to try.
