Vegan Avocado Pasta with Blackened Vegetables image

This recipe is bright, creamy, salty, and slightly burned and crunchy. It's a delightful sensory experience, and also kind-of healthy, if you believe in that sort of thing! Also, this recipe would make a great paleo dinner with some spiraled veggie pasta.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 heads broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings, rings separated
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, juiced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon salt
2 pounds penne pasta
4 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped
2 limes, juiced
3 cloves garlic, peeled
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 fresh cilantro stems, or to taste
1 pinch sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Combine broccoli, red bell peppers, and yellow onion in a large bowl. Add olive oil, juice of 2 limes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Spread vegetables onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast vegetables, stirring 1 or 2 times, in the preheated oven until edges begin to blacken, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  • Fill a large pot with water and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Blend avocados, juice of 2 limes, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender until sauce is smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and pulse until just incorporated.
  • Gently toss pasta, roasted vegetables, and sauce together in a large bowl. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, cilantro stems, sea salt, and black pepper.

I found that the avocado sauce was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more lemon juice or water to thin it out.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
