Recipe: Spicy Avocado Cheese Sauce


Sauce over whole wheat pasta & broccoli
I just whipped up this insanely delicious avocado cheese sauce for my whole wheat pasta tonight. It was fast, easy and absolutely lovely! I hope you enjoy it even half as much as I did.

Ingredients:
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
1 avocado, pitted and cubed
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3/4 cup plain almond milk
2-3 tablespoons water
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
braggs liquid aminos, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste

Method:

  1. In a small sauce pan over medium heat cook bell pepper in just enough water to cover the peppers. Cook about 5 minutes. 
  2. Once peppers are softened transfer to food processor or blender. Add cubed avocado and just enough of the almond milk to blend easily. The result is thick green paste.
  3. Return the avocado mixture to the saucepan over medium heat. Slowly stir in the rest of the almond milk. Add your spices and braggs and nutritional yeast. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Blended avocado mix
  5. Pour over pasta or veggies or use as a dip. 
Enjoy!
