Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Place the avocado, spinach, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor.
Blend, adding the cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is smooth and of the desired consistency. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Toss the pasta with the sauce. Top with cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, and parsley then serve immediately.

Notes

Use any pasta of your choice.
Pine nuts are optional if you don't have any.
Allow the pasta to cool completely before mixing it with the sauce.
Don't forget to reserve some pasta water. If you do, don't sweat it, you can use water instead.
