Introducing: Creamy Avocado Lemon Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest creation — a Creamy Avocado Lemon Pasta that’s perfect for a light and refreshing meal. This dish is a great way to usher in the warmer months with its zesty flavors and creamy texture. Let’s dive into the details of this unique and delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado (about 200g)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 250g of your favorite pasta
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons of pine nuts, toasted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Pan for toasting pine nuts
  • Blender for avocado sauce
  • Knife for mincing garlic

Preparation:

Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat a pan over medium heat and toast the pine nuts until they are golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.

In a blender, combine the flesh of the ripe avocado, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and reserve a cup of pasta water. Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy avocado sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and torn basil leaves. Serve the pasta topped with toasted pine nuts for crunch and added flavor.

Tips:

For an extra burst of freshness, try adding some lemon zest to the pasta before serving. The citrusy aroma will elevate the dish and bring out the flavors even more.

Serving:

This Creamy Avocado Lemon Pasta weighs approximately 800g after cooking and serves 4. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per portion. I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy the unique combination of flavors. Feel free to get creative and make it your own by adding your favorite protein or veggies. Happy cooking!
