What makes it special:
- Naturally creamy without cream or cheese
- Completely vegan and dairy-free
- Ready in minutes with one blender or food processor
- Packed with healthy fats and fiber
- Delicious served raw or gently warmed
It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want comfort food that still feels fresh and nourishing.
The Secret Ingredient: Avocado
Avocado might not be the first thing you think of when making pasta sauce, but it works beautifully.
When blended, avocado adds:
- A velvety texture similar to vodka or cream sauces
- Healthy monounsaturated fats for satiety
- A subtle richness that balances tomato acidity
The result is a sauce that tastes indulgent while staying light and plant-forward.

How to Make Raw Vegan Tomato Avocado Sauce
This recipe is almost embarrassingly easy.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender.

How to Serve It
This sauce is incredibly versatile and works far beyond pasta night.
Try it with:

Tips for the Best Flavor
- Use ripe avocados. They should give slightly when pressed; this ensures maximum creaminess.
- Don’t overheat. If warming the sauce, heat gently. High heat can dull the fresh avocado flavor.
- Balance the spice. The chili flakes add subtle warmth; you can increase or decrease them depending on your preference.
Make It Your Own
One of the best parts about this recipe is how adaptable it is.
Try adding:
- Fresh spinach or basil for extra greens
- Nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor
- Lemon juice for brightness
- Sun-dried tomatoes for deeper umami

This sauce, I will surely try. I’t will make the sauce even healthier and yet it didn’t turn out to be green. So it still looks palatable.
Awesome!! I hope you love it!
Is this sauce freezable?
I’ve never tried to freeze it but you could try. It might get watery upon thawing!
