Notes

This recipe was first published on 10/02/2017.
To remove the avocado flesh, cut the avocado lengthwise around the pit and separate the two halves by twisting. Then remove the pit by hitting the pit with a sharp knife, then twist the blade so the pit comes out of the avocado when you pull the knife away.
The nutritional yeast flakes add a cheesy flavor to the avocado pasta. However, if you don't have any, you can use vegan parmesan cheese or simply omit the ingredient.
The nutritional information is calculated for 1 serving of guacamole without the pasta.
