- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:
- Prepare your pasta of choice according to box directions. We used pappardelle pasta, but you can swap in gluten-free pasta for this recipe too!
- While the pasta is boiling, prepare the sauce. Add all of the ingredients (except pasta) to a blender or food processor. Blend for 1 minute.
- After the pasta is strained, return it to the pan or in a bowl and add the avocado sauce. Gently fold the pasta and sauce together until well combined.
- Serve with a generous sprinkle of chili flakes and a lime garnish.
