| 15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta print this recipe! Creamy, thick, and rich with lots of garlic flavour and a hint of lemon. This is my newest favourite pasta dish. The avocado works wonderfully in this recipe to create a sauce so creamy and thick, you will think there is cream hiding in there. Inspired by My Recipe.org. Yield: Serves 2 Ingredients: | |
| 1 medium sized | ripe Avocado, pitted |
| 1/2 | lemon, juiced + lemon zest to garnish |
| 2-3 garlic cloves, to taste (I used 3 and it was quite garlicky, but if you are not a big fan of garlic use 1 clove) | |
| 1/2 tsp | kosher salt, or to taste |
| ~1/4 cup Fresh Basil, (probably optional) | |
| 2 tbsp | extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 servings/6 oz | 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.

I used some fun pasta to increase the nutrition factor- first, 1 serving (3oz) of spelt pasta.
