Pastina-Stuffed Avocados Recipe

Dress up your avocados with this pastina-stuffed avocados recipe from www.drugstoredivas.net.

Lately, I’ve been a big fan of creating recipes for dinner. I get an idea in my brain and make it. It’s fun. I never really know how it’s going to come out because it’s not a recipe I get from a friend or Pinterest, so I’m always a little worried. And I was when I made this pastina-stuffed avocados recipe. But oh my word. This is absolutely my new favorite creation. I’m going to make it every day for lunch from now until my local grocery store runs out of avocados.

I actually made this and packed it for Pete to take it to the airport recently, so I packed it in a to go container. It fit perfectly and really made me think how much better this would be than taking a sandwich for lunch at work. Brown bag this. Am I right?

Pastina-Stuffed Avocados Ingredients:

How To Make Pastina-Stuffed Avocados:

Cook the pastina in the vegetable broth, until all the liquid is absorbed in the pasta, about eight minutes.

While that’s cooking, wash and dice your tomato, onion, and pepper.

Mix the vegetables into the pastina.

Cut the avocado in half, removing the pit.

Fill the hole in the avocado with the pastina mixture.

Drizzle with a lime wedge.

I served mine along with egg noodles topped with olive oil and Italian seasoning.

I can’t even tell you how much I absolutely loved this. We inhaled it, and I have been craving it (and, as you can see, patting myself on the back about it) ever since. Plus, I love that it is light and fresh and healthy too. That’s how we like to eat, so this fits in nicely with our menu.
