I make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer but it is easy and fast to throw together for any day of the week. Good for hiding the veggies for the child who won't eat veggies like mine! You can add any vegetable. I have chosen the ones that I sneak in. Serve over any pasta.

CHERRY TOMATO PASTA WITH AVOCADO SAUCE



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
