Bright and sunny, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian Penne Pasta with Avocado Chutney Sauce

Do you love 10 minute easy meals that are healthy and delectable? And something both kids and adults will enjoy? Then you have to try this easy gluten free, vegan, vegetarian meal! 

You know how crazy my family is about avocados so I keep trying different recipes with it like the Avocado and sundried Tomato Thepla, Creamy Avocado Kefir Lassi,Avocado and Caramelized Onion Rice, the avocado chutney wrap with a different flavored chutney, Dal Vada….. with a healthy twist! and even the Luscious Avocado Coconut Burfi…in 5 minutes! And this is just the partial list of my avocado recipes. The avocado has not failed me yet. My family has loved each and every one of these dishes.

The Penne Pasta in Avocado Chutney sauce is another great addition to my long list of avocado recipes and is definitely going to be a regular on our dinner menu. I used gluten free penne but you could use any pasta you like.

We have been having some cold, snowy, cloudy days in our neck of the woods and this bright, warm, scrumptious meal sure cheered me up. Hope it does the same for you.

    Avocado chutney sounds so exotic from Indian perspective where we only find red or white sauce! It actually seems like a healthier option t

        That’s a major problem here. Availability of avocado except for cities like Delhi or Mumbai is a pain! Although it’s very common to buy parsley, bell peppers, zucchini which too were exotic, once.

    Beautiful recipe, I just love those bright greens. Actually, I have been meaning to try avocado on pasta for a long while now – I’m a bit of an avocado addict. They’re just so delicious and creamy that I can’t resist, even if they’re just plain pitted avocados ❤ . They're a bit expensive here in the UK to eat often, but will keep this recipe in mind next time I get to buy some. Great photos too Sandhya 🙂
