This dish is known as ‘Green Pasta’ in our house, and when the kids find out we are having it, they fist pump the air and say “We love Green Pasta!” I find this quite amusing as all 3 don’t like avocado. Please don’t anyone tell them that’s the main ingredient!
Serves 4-6 people
Ingredients
500gm pasta, we use fettuccine
2 ripe avocados
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic
3-4 tablespoons of lemon infused olive oil (or plain if you don’t have it)
1 tablespoon of basil paste or a small handful of fresh basil leaves
a handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
While your pasta of choice is cooking, place the flesh of the avocados, the lemon juice, garlic clove and basil in food processor and blitz until smooth.
While the motor is running, add the olive oil slowly. Taste and season with salt and pepper and add more olive oil if you wish.
Drain the pasta and toss it through the avocado sauce.
Serve with cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese.
Hi there, thought I should let you know the pasta bit of this recipe is missing in the ingredients list, uh-oh!. Would it be a whole packet for this amount of sauce, so 500g?
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for letting me know! I really appreciate it. Yes, for our family, this would be a meal for 2 adults and 3 kids, so we would use a 500gm packet of pasta. I will update the recipe. I hope your family likes it as much as we do. Emma x
