Creamy Avocado Pasta

By Tara-3

Ingredients

• 6 ounces pasta, we used whole wheat spaghetti
• 1 large ripe Avocado, pitted and peel removed
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring water to a boil in a medium sized pot. Salt the water and add in your pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until Al Dente, about 8-10 minutes.

2. While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce by placing the avocado, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth and creamy.

3. When pasta is done cooking, drain and place pasta into a large bowl. Add the sauce to the pasta and toss until pasta is well coated. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Note: This pasta dish is best eaten the day it is made.
