The recipe can be found at this website! http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/31/15-minute-creamy-avocado-pasta/

My friend made this for her kids who do not like avocado and said they loved it and asked for 2nds!

    I feel like this might not be much lower calorie-wise than a regular alfredo. The avocado can be ~250 calories, and the 2 tablespoons olive oil are ~200. That's about equal to a cup of a jarred alfredo.

    I'm sure it's a lot healthier. Jarred alfredo is pretty grody.

    I really was hoping we were just here to make fun of some guy named Alfredo but that recipe sounds awesome.

    The difference would be in the type of fat.

    I can't - A good alfredo gives me nothing to make fun of.
