Pasta cremosa all’avocado

Ingredienti

• 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)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cook 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. 2

   Place 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. 3

   Toss 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. 4

   Serve immediately and top with extra pine nuts and red chili if desired.
