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 tablespoon good quality olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch red chili flakes optional
- 2 tablespoon toasted pine nuts optional
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately and top with extra pine nuts and red chili if desired.
Notes
- If you have extra sauce, you can place it in a shallow bowl and drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on top, and stick some clingfilm directly on the surface. This will help prevent avocado from browning. This is best enjoyed fresh, however, but you can refrigerate for up to 1 day.
