Yuck! This was not for me. The lime flavor was just too overwhelming. Never again!
Can’t believe avocados go with pasta. Sounds crazy, but I’m gonna try it once. Will update my rating!
Trust me, it’s actually really good! You won’t regret it!
I was skeptical about mixing avocado and pasta, but wow! This turned out better than I thought. Will make again!
i didnt like this, taste too weird for me. plus, i messed up the cooking and it was mushy.
This is absolutely delicious! The avocado gives it such a creamy texture. My family loved it!
I dunno, my kids didn’t like it at all. The texture was weird for them. Maybe too much avocado?
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Avocado really does make everything better. 👍
