Here’s a delicious vegan AIP pasta recipe that is both simple and satisfying: Easy Avocado Pesto Pasta.

Ingredients

• 8 oz gluten-free (or grain-free) pasta
• 1 avocado, halved and pitted
• 1 cup arugula (or spinach)

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, omit for strict AIP)
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• Salt to taste (omit pepper for AIP)
• Juice of half a lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/3 cup of the pasta water before draining.
2. Make the Pesto: In a high-speed blender, combine the avocado, arugula, basil, nutritional yeast (if using), garlic, salt, lemon juice, olive oil, and reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
