creamy coconut avocado pasta
A different Pasta Recipe with lots of flavor: This creamy coconut avocado pasta is the perfect dinner for people who would like to have Pasta with a Caribbean touch topped with a fresh avocado dip.
I really love coconut. It’s such a varied ingredient. In Dominican cuisine, it is used for so many different meals. You can use it for your sweets and savory dishes. Sometimes, one can taste the delicious, unique coconut flavor, and sometimes, it adds its flavor but is not dominant. You can be sure that I’m going to share many recipes that contain coconut on this beautiful blog.
But let us talk about this Pasta recipe. My husband loves Pasta, and so does my daughter. That’s why I make sure to cook at least one Pasta recipe a week. I usually make them on busy days as they’re fast and easy. This time, I wanted our Pasta to be comfy, flavory, creamy, and nourishing but mainly fresh-tasting.

ingredients for this delicious creamy coconut avocado pasta
- Onion.
- Garlic. I love to stamp the garlic cloves. This way, they lose a lot of juice but can add so much flavor.
- Bell pepper. The fruit which belongs to the nightshade family is a good source of vitamins C, B6, K1, E, and A. One medium-sized red bell pepper provides 169 % of RDI for vitamin C.
- Capers. Don’t underestimate these salty flower buds. They contain a high amount of sodium and vitamin K. Capers contain coppers, an essential mineral. It is involved in iron metabolism and brain function. Eating a small amount of capers is recommended as it has potential downsides. Because of its high amount of sodium, it can cause high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. To avoid that and get all the benefits of eating capers, enjoy it in moderation.
- Green olives. The fruit is an excellent source of healthy fats, Iron, Vitamin E, and copper.
- Sieved tomatoes. High quality is key. High-quality sieved tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has many health benefits, like protecting cells from free radical damage. Sieved tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C and b ceratone, another powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.
- Sage. is rich in antioxidants, which can help lower the risk of cancer, support memory and brain health, and combat skin aging.
