Pasta cremosa con avocado e spinaci

Ingredienti

• 10 ounces spaghetti (dry, or fettuccine, I used semolina pasta)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 avocado
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup pecans
• 1/4 cup fresh basil
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3/4 to 1 cup pasta water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cook pasta:: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.

2. 2

   Make the avocado sauce:: Add the rest of the ingredients to your blender and blend until it turns into a smooth sauce. Start with ¾ cup of pasta water and add more as needed to get the consistency you want.

3. 3

   Assemble:: Toss the pasta with the sauce in a bowl and serve immediately. This sauce is best served the day it is made, as it uses avocados which will turn a brownish color.
