Ingredients

  • 300g dried pasta (e.g. spaghetti or linguine)
  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and stoned
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan or vegan alternative, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor.
  3. Add the garlic cloves, lemon juice, basil leaves, and olive oil.
  4. Blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water.
  6. Toss the hot pasta with the avocado sauce, adding a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen if needed.
  7. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan or a vegan alternative, if using.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
  • This dish is best served fresh as the avocado may brown over time.
