Ingredients
Step-by-Step
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, diced avocado, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Add the cooked pasta to the avocado-tomato sauce and toss to combine. Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with the crispy potato crostini.
