From Michelle Oddis, food blogger extraordinaire and mistress of awesome boozy Jell-O confections like the ever-popular Caramel Apple Shot, comes this vegetarian pasta sauce recipe made from avocados. Actually, she borrowed it too, but that's how the greatest recipes eventually find their way into your kitchen. If you have 15 minutes, a food processor and a desire for the best substitute for alfredo sauce known to mankind, this is the way to go.

We're waiting on chili-rimmed guacamole shots, Michelle.
