A new creamy cold pasta is ready to accompany your warm days. This time we made it with avocado cream, almonds and tomatoes. A great recipe for this season: it is very quick to make, while you cook the pasta you can prepare its seasoning and it is very tasty. Also perfect for those who are vegetarian, this cold-pasta has a slightly acidic taste (very pleasant) thanks to the lemon present in the avocado cream. This mix of flavors combined with the sweetness and crunchiness of the cherry tomatoes will make you appeal. What are you waiting for to recreate the recipe with us?

Cook the pasta in boiling water. Drain it when al dente and run it under cold water to stop cooking.
Prepare the avocado cream: Chop the onion finely and put it in a bowl, add the avocado pulp and mash it with a fork (the onion will release all its flavor into the cream).
Now pour the lemon juice, olive oil and sprinkle with pepper over the avocado cream. Then combine.
Separately, cut the cherry tomatoes into four pieces and coarsely chop the almonds.
Place the pasta in a salad bowl. Add the creamed avocado, cherry tomatoes and chopped almonds.
Mix well, (adjust salt, if needed) and the creamy cold pasta with avocado, cherry tomatoes and almonds is ready!
