Ingredients

– 12 oz pasta of your choice (spaghetti, penne, or fusilli)

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

Creating Best Avocado Pasta is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Prepare Avocado Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocados, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Combine Pasta and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained pasta. Pour the avocado sauce over the pasta and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
