Serves 4-6
Prep Time: 5 Mins
Cook Time: 10 Mins

Ingredients

Pasta:

  • 8 ounces dry pasta, your choice
  • ½ lb asparagus, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Basil for garnish
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Sauce:

  • 1/2 pack silken tofu
  • 1 whole Mission Avocado
  • 1/4 cup plant milk, your choice
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt + pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the water and boil pasta according to instructions on the package. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set aside.

In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients for the sauce and blend until smooth.

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium low. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and and cook for another 2 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly soft. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the drained pasta.

Add the avocado sauce and toss gently to combine, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water, as needed, if the pasta is too thick or clumping together. Taste and add chopped basil and additional salt and/or pepper as desired. Serve immediately.
