Ingredient Benefits
Pasta of Choice
A hearty base that makes the dish filling and satisfying. Whether you go with traditional wheat, whole grain, or gluten-free, pasta provides energy-boosting carbs and acts as a perfect canvas for the fresh flavors.
Asparagus
Crisp and tender with a mild, earthy taste. Asparagus is a natural detoxifier and a great source of fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K — all supporting digestion and skin health.
Cherry Tomatoes
Bursting with juicy sweetness, they balance the creaminess of the avocado. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to heart health and glowing skin.
Avocado
The star of the sauce — creamy, rich, and full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Avocados are also loaded with fiber, potassium, and skin-loving vitamins like E and C.
Lemon Zest & Juice
Adds a punch of brightness and a citrusy lift. Lemon enhances digestion, boosts vitamin C intake, and helps balance the richness of avocado with a tangy kick.
Garlic
Aromatic and flavorful, garlic deepens the taste of the sauce. It’s known for its immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.
Red Pepper Flakes
A touch of heat to wake up your palate. Chili flakes not only spice up the dish, but they may also help rev metabolism and reduce inflammation.
Fresh Dill
Delicate and fragrant, dill adds a unique herbal finish. It’s also known for its digestive benefits and antimicrobial properties — plus, it makes the dish look beautiful and fresh.
