This creamy avocado pesto is a vibrant, plant-based twist on the classic Italian sauce. By swapping traditional hard cheese for ripe avocado, you create a luxuriously smooth texture that coats pasta perfectly while keeping the dish entirely vegan. The fresh basil and toasted pine nuts provide that familiar herbaceous punch, while a bright squeeze of lemon juice ensures the colour remains a striking, vivid green.
Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a nutritious lunch, this dairy-free pesto is as versatile as it is healthy. Beyond stirring it through linguine or gnocchi, try it as a spread for sourdough toast or a dip for crunchy raw vegetables. It is a fantastic way to incorporate healthy fats into your diet without compromising on the bold, savoury flavours of a homemade sauce.
