Creamy Avocado Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium sized ripe avocado, pitted
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 -3 garlic cloves, to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 cup fresh basil (optional)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 ounces of your choice pasta
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

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.
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 avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.
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.
Please note: This dish does not reheat well due to the avocado in the sauce. Please serve immediately.
