Oil-free pasta with a creamy avocado tahini sauce packed with vegetables and chickpea pasta. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal!

Sometimes summer eating can get a bit monotonous.

Like, should I have another salad or another smoothie bowl or maybe just go and feast on fruit all day?

I hear you.

Honestly, I’ve been feeling a bit in a rut myself, making different variations of the same thing on repeat.

I love my macro bowls and salads, but sometimes you need to throw a curveball in to keep the hunger alive.

It’s probably no surprise to you that I’m a bit obsessed with avocado and tahini.

The separate obsessions are real but now I have a new one: Avocado tahini.

As in, avocado and tahini together.

Forever.

Mix them together in this easy pasta dish for a fresh take on sauce!

This Avocado Tahini Pasta is creamy, lemony, and packed with healthy fats, veggies, and chickpea protein.

What You Need to Make Avocado Tahini Pasta

And what better way to mix things up than with a quirky pasta recipe?

Mmm, pasta.

The word practically oozes comfort.

Say it out loud; you’ll see.

That being said, I don’t eat it a lot, mostly because I’m picky about my pasta ingredients.

I don’t want any impastas in there.

(Sorry, I had to!)

Here’s what you need:

Pasta

Chickapea Organic Chickpea and Red Lentil Pasta
basil
cherry tomatoes
bell pepper
radishes

That’s it!

Chickapea Pasta

In most cases, I prefer veggie noodles to anything else.

But when I’m not eating veggie noodles, I’m eating Chickapea Pasta!

This organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan pasta is made from organic chickpeas and lentils.

It’s packed with protein and fiber using only pulses as ingredients!

Real ingredients, no fillers, and nothing artificial.

I used the spirals in my recipe, but the penne and shells are also excellent choices!

How to Make Avocado Tahini Pasta Sauce

A clean pasta deserves an equally clean sauce; something with integrity and pizazz, dontcha think?

Hello, Avocado Tahini sauce.

A sauce you can totally hulk out on.

It’s big, green, and MEAN.

This oil-free green dressing is packed with healthy fats that go perfectly with protein packed chickpea pasta for a well-balanced meal.

If you have extra sauce from the recipe, try using it as veggie or fruit dip throughout the week!

Swaps & Substitutions

If you’re looking for simplicity, you can easily mix up this pasta without any veggies.

You know me, though, always packing as many veggies in as possible without totally tipping the pasta to veg ratio.

I chose cherry tomato, radishes, and bell peppers to throw it, but any vegetable works.

Some other ideas are broccoli, mushroom, olives, or artichoke.

How to Serve Avocado Tahini Pasta

Enjoy this Avocado Tahini Pasta as a fun way to mix up your plant-based pasta night.

It’s perfect for family dinners, picnics, and packed workweek lunches.

You can serve it warm during winter months for a cozier take.

I like mine served cold with a squeeze of lemon and black sesame seeds.

The sauce is best when fresh, so go ahead, go back for seconds.

Enjoy!
