What color is California? I know that might seem like an odd question, but humor me, if you had to choose a color for California what would it be? I was thinking green, a creamy light green that is beautiful when the sun hits it. An avocado green perhaps. This pasta is definitely California. The greens from the spinach, broccoli, and avocado give it beautiful color when the sun hits it. This recipe is super easy, relaxed, laid back, perfect anytime of day or year. It is full of flavor, fun to eat, and yet surprising, never boring or dull. This pasta is definitely California.
Delicious Rating: Okay, so maybe I am bias being from California or maybe it is really that great! If you love Cali then you will definitely love this pasta. It is packed with garlic and a light olive oil sauce that is balanced with all the veggies in this vegan recipe. Broccoli and Spinach and Avocado, can someone say “Yum” please?! This is one of those easy recipes that cook up in 20-30 minutes and you are never left with leftovers. Please try this and let me know what you think!

You cannot get enough garlic in this recipe…so necessary for pasta!
The spinach wilts fast so if you don’t want that dark wilted spinach that this recipe produces, try adding it after the pasta and broccoli.
An easy way to chuck the avocados is by slicing in half, de-seeding, peeling off skin and then cut in half lengthwise and then across. Or just de-seed and cut in the skin and scoop out with a spoon.
Delicious!
