Avocado Bread & Pasta

Avocado is such a versatile ingredient. To celebrate this delicious fruit, we have come up with two unique recipes that will blow your tastebuds away. We are making bread and pasta out of avocado. Each of these recipes is easy to make and has such satisfying flavors that they will become family favorites.

Our inspiration is to use the Avocado to its full potential. With our knowledge of Cuisines, we have combined different techniques and unique ingredients to make two hearty and healthy meal options. 

First is the Avocado Oat Bread with tuna topping. The fluffy oat-based Avocado bread is super savory and one-of-a-kind. It is keto-friendly, gluten-free, and super healthy. And when topped with creamy, cheesy tuna, it is so delicious. It can be eaten as a snack, appetizers and as a side dish. The best part is that it can be made with simple ingredients and is an excellent choice for entertaining large crowds.

Second, we have a lunch and dinner option: Avocado Pasta with Creamy sauce. It is yet another healthy option for pasta. We love this recipe for two reasons: It has homemade pasta made with just four ingredients, i.e., avocado, eggs, rice flour, and salt. And it is super creamy and healthy at the same time, so that you will not feel guilty about it…

Maybe just a little because you might not be able to stop eating.

This recipe is easy to make with just a few pantry ingredients, with a little pasta-making technique. No worries, it's easy and tastes even better than any store-bought pasta.

Each dish is worth trying!

Ingredients’ Breakdown for Avocado Oat Bread with Tuna Topping

For the Homemade Sponge (Ladyfinger-style base)

• Avocado: Avocado gives a mild, creamy, and rich flavor to the bread. It also adds fat to the bread to have buttery softness.
• Eggs: Eggs work as a binder and help with the structural integrity of the bread.
• Salt: Salt makes the bread taste so much better. It is a must!
• Oatmeal: We are using Oatmeal instead of flour. It is a great keto and healthy option.
• Hard cheese: Hard cheese has a granular texture with a sharp, savory, cheesy, and earthy flavor. We are using the most common hard cheese, i.e., Parmesan. You can also use hard Pecorino Romano, aged Gouda, and Cheddar.
• Baking soda + vinegar: Baking soda and vinegar create a chemical reaction that helps the bread batter to rise and become airy. You can also use just 1 tsp of baking powder as a leavening agent instead.
• Sesame or flax seeds: You can add sesame seeds or flax seeds for extra crunch over the batter before baking. It is optional but highly recommended.

For the Topping

• Carrot: Carrot has a crunchy texture with earthy and sweet notes. It complements the tuna.
• Cream cheese: Cream cheese is the creamy and cheesy element of the topping. You can use low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a low-fat option.
• Tuna: We are using tuna for the topping. It is a versatile fish option that is super mild and flaky. We are using fresh tuna for the topping, but you can also use canned Tuna. Just make sure it is drained properly, or the topping will become runny and watery.
• Pepper: Peppery adds a peppery kick to the topping.
• Fresh parsley: Parsley gives a hint of freshness and a herby flavor overall.

Ingredients’ Breakdown for Homemade Avocado Pasta with Cream Sauce

For the Pasta Dough

• Avocado: Avocado adds a mild, sweet, and savory-rich taste to the pasta.
• Egg: Egg works as a binder for the pasta dough. It also makes it richer in taste.
• Flour: If you are looking for a gluten-free option, then you can use Rice flour. Otherwise, all-purpose flour and Semolina or a combination of both will work fine. Just make sure that you are using high-quality flour.
• Salt: Without salt, the pasta will taste bland, so it is crucial to add.

The Sauce

• Onion: Onion gives the sauce a little body and adds a little oniony flavor as well. 
• Tomato: Tomato adds a little savory, tangy flavor to the creamy sauce. It also gives a little pinkish-white color to the sauce, making it look pleasing.
• Garlic: Garlic gives the sauce a spicy, garlicky flavor that we all love.
• Cream: We are using heavy cream for this recipe; you can half n half or plant-based cream like coconut cream as well.
• Salt & pepper: Salt and pepper make the sauce savory and peppery.
• Oil: We are using neutral oil for sauteing the onions and other ingredients. You can also use olive oil.

For Finishing

• Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and savory flavor to the pasta. It also looks great as a garnish.
