Quick, Creamy Vegan Avocado and Spinach Pasta

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve just moved to the UK for six months and have been busily settling in, attending exchange orientation events and starting classes at University!

Unfortunately, my student accommodation doesn’t come with an oven…so by the looks of it baking meals will be out of the picture for a few months!

Being rather time poor has lead me to the inspiration for dinner tonight – this dish is so quick and easy to mix up! I used rice sticks which only take 6-8 minutes to prepare – bonus But you could also use rice pasta, buckwheat pasta (my favourite!), or wheat pasta if you have no problems with it!

It is also a great solution, if like me, you can’t have tomatoes which crosses out the typical spaghetti pasta dish! Instead of opting for the cream laden pasta, this is a healthy, light dish incorporating avocados for creaminess!

Avocado’s have to be one of my favourite ingredients and offers a broad range of benefits – from lowering cholesterol to having anti-inflammatory benefits…oh and also being DELICIOUS

Hope you enjoy!
