Avocado paste with roasted garlic

Pasta is one of the most versatile and beloved dishes throughout Latin America. Among its many variations, avocado pasta with roasted garlic stands out for its fresh and refined flavor, combining ingredients that evoke Mediterranean traditions with a regional touch. In countries like Mexico and Colombia, this recipe is simply known as "creamy avocado pasta," while in Argentina and Chile it is often found under the name "pasta with green avocado sauce." Roasted garlic, an essential ingredient in this preparation, provides a softness and sweetness that contrast with the creamy texture of the avocado, also incorporating a deep flavor profile that delights at the table.

The origin of this recipe is linked to the growing preference for healthy and light dishes, where traditional cooking techniques, such as oven roasting, are mixed with fresh ingredients native to the region. This combination allows you to enjoy a dish that is easy to prepare, nutritious, and full of flavor, ideal for both family meals and special occasions. Furthermore, it is an excellent way to use fresh vegetables along with proteins, making this pasta a complete and balanced option.
