Love pesto but not the cheese in the recipe? We found a recipe for Avocado Pesto sauce on Shape.com shared by vegan chef Chloe Cascorelli, who uses it on top of pasta. She recommends brown rice pasta, but we also like quinoa for the boost of protein it offers!

Avocado Pesto
1 bunch fresh basil
½ cup pine nuts
2 avocados
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Sea salt
Pepper

Simply mix the ingredients in a food processor or blender, and add to cooked pasta.

Enjoy!
