Creamy Avocado Pasta

Easy, healthy and delicious, this creamy avocado pasta may just become your new go to.

📝 Ingredients

• 200 g pasta (I used whole wheat spaghetti) ((7 oz))
• 1 large avocado, pitted and scooped out of shell
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup coriander (cilantro)
• 1 tbsp good quality olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• pinch red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook your pasta according to package instructions. When draining the cooked noodles, reserve some of the pasta water in case you want to thin your avocado sauce.
2. 2Place all the remaining ingredients in a blender (avocado, lime juice, garlic, coriander, olive oil, salt, pepper, red chili flakes if using, and toasted pine nuts if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. 3Toss the cooked pasta with the avocado sauce. If it's too thick for your liking, add a little of the reserved pasta water and toss to combine.
4. 4Serve immediately and top with extra pine nuts and red chili if desired.
