Ingredients

• For the Pasta:

• 8 oz pasta of your choice (spaghetti, linguine, or any shape) 🍝

• Salt, for boiling water

• For the Avocado Sauce:

• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted 🥑

• 1 clove garlic, minced 🧄

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Juice of 1 lemon 🍋

• 1/4 cup fresh basil or cilantro 🌿

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat 🌶️

Directions

• Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• Make the Avocado Sauce: While the pasta cooks, add the avocado, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and basil (or cilantro) to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
• Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta with the avocado sauce until evenly coated.
• Serve: Plate the pasta, garnish with extra herbs or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and enjoy!
• Optional: Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein, or sprinkle with parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Notes

• Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier option.
• If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out.
• This dish is best served immediately, as the avocado sauce can darken over time.
