A quick, easy and delicious Creamy Avocado Spaghetti with Bacon recipe, perfect for busy weeknights when you need a super fast meal!
This is the ideal dinner recipe for nights when you’re a bit strapped for time – this meal can literally be thrown together in less than 20 minutes! It’s simply a matter of cooking the spaghetti, browning up some bacon, and mixing together the creamy avocado sauce… then presto! A tasty dinner the whole family will enjoy.
If you’re wanting an even quicker meal, you could make the avocado sauce ahead of time, then cover it and keep in the fridge until you’re ready to use. I would not recommend making the sauce any earlier than the day you’re serving though. Depending on my mood I may mash it all up by hand with a fork, or put it in my Vitamix and quickly blitz it for a super smooth sauce.
I usually serve up this Creamy Avocado Spaghetti with Bacon with a side of garlic bread. It helps fill up my growing family, and stretch this dish even further.
