15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta PRINT
- YIELD: 2 servings
Ingredients
| 1 | medium sized ripe Avocado, pitted |
| ½ | lemon, juiced + lemon zest to garnish |
| 1-2 | garlic cloves, to taste |
| ½ | tsp kosher salt, or to taste |
| ~¼ cup Fresh Basil, (probably optional) | |
| 2 | tbsp extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 | servings/6 oz of your choice of pasta (I used 3oz of spelt and 3 oz of Kamut spaghetti) |
| Freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions
1. Bring several cups of water to a boil in a medium sized pot. Add in your pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until Al Dente, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Now add in the pitted avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.
3. When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse in a strainer and place pasta into a large bowl. Pour on sauce and toss until fully combined. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
Please note: This dish does not reheat well due to the avocado in the sauce. Please serve immediately.
