Helllllllo, wieners!
Many of you reached out to ask about this dish after I posted it on Instagram stories yesterday, so I figured I’d get this gluten free pasta recipe up ASAP! I’ll keep this post short & sweet to focus on this glorious, protein-packed recipe.
I’ve recently fallen head-over-heels in LOVE with chickpea pasta, because it’s filled with protein and doesn’t have the weird consistency that many gluten-free pasta alternatives have. It legit tastes like pasta.
I was sent a TON of variations of chickpea pasta ( from the brand Banza ), and I’m really into the ones I’ve tried so far: angel hair, linguine, & wheels. I’m dying to try the shells with a little butter/parmesan, too.
I’ve heard good things about quinoa pasta & red lentil pasta as well, so if you like those, you can definitely use this avo sauce on whatever it is you prefer ( for those of you who can eat regular/whole wheat pasta, same goes for y’all! ). Do what ya feel, beebs.
I just prefer chickpea pasta at the moment.
BTW– I got the below recipe from Damn Delicious, one of my favorite healthy-gal recipe destinations. I’ve tweaked things just a little, and usually just make HALF a full recipe, as I’m cooking for one ( forever single & alone, k bye ).
Another BTW– you’ll need a food processor or blender for this recipe!
what you’ll need
makes 2 servings
Banza Chickpea Linguine ( 2 servings ) or Pasta of Choice
2 Ripe Avocados
2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Cup Basil Leaves
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper
1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
Appliances: Blender/Food Processor
how-to
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. Combine avocados, basil, garlic, & lemon juice in a food processor, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. With motor running, add olive oil in a slow stream until emulsified.
4. In a large bowl, combine pasta, avocado sauce, & cherry tomatoes.
5. Serve immediately.
This gluten free pasta recipe is one of my go-to’s lately, aside from a straight-forward pasta + marinara sauce classic. It’s a light recipe filled with protein, health fats, and good carbs ( aka: the three things I look for in a meal ).

Also, I detailed another gluten free pasta recipe using chickpea pasta in last week’s healthy week in my life VLOG that you can watch here.
Are y’all liking this vlogging scenario?? Lemme know your thoughts!
Talk soon, beebus gals. xx
Looks great! 😉
