Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, basil, parsley, spinach, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the green goddess sauce until well coated. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with red pepper flakes and chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Great served warm or as a cold pasta salad.
Add sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or roasted veggies for extra flavor and nutrients.
Use kale or arugula instead of spinach for a different green twist.
