Cherry Tomato Pasta with Avocado Sauce image

Heart-healthy avocado makes this pasta dish feel indulgent without being overly rich. The flavorful sauce is so luscious, you'll think there is cream hiding in there. It's guilt-free and dairy-free, but with a texture and consistency that's similar to traditional cream-based sauces. -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Provided by Katanashrp

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 cup olive oil
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
10 ounces bacon
11 ounces fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh basil, roughly chopped
2 avocados, chopped
basil leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the garlic and the tomatoes in a baking pan.
  • Drizzle with 2 tbs of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, cook the bacon until crispy and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
  • Roughly chop the bacon.
  • Drain the pasta, and place it in a serving bowl.
  • Drizzle with 1 tbs of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add bacon, avocado and tomatoes with juices.
  • Squeeze the garlic out into a seal tight container, add the vinegar, remaining olive oil and chopped basil and shake well to combine.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta, and mix well.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Vine-ripened tomatoes are best, but any ripe tomato will work. Look for tomatoes that are firm and brightly colored, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them plenty of room to spread out so that they can caramelize properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the tomatoes will steam and become watery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best, as it has a robust flavor that will complement the tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the avocado sauce. The avocado sauce should be smooth and creamy, not thick and chunky. If you overcook it, the avocado will turn brown and lose its flavor.
  • Serve immediately. Cherry tomato pasta with avocado sauce is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy.

Conclusion:

Cherry tomato pasta with avocado sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado sauce, and salty Parmesan cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
