- Add your pasta to a small pot and cover completely with water.
- Bring your pot of pasta to a boil on the stovetop, and boil for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is soft.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the avocado, nut milk, oil, nutritional yeast, paprika, and onion powder to a high speed blender or food processor.
