This creamy avocado and mango pasta is a refreshing and unique twist on a classic Italian favorite. The combination of creamy avocado, sweet mango, and al dente pasta creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave your taste buds tingling. So, let’s dive into this culinary adventure together!

Ingredients:

• penne pasta (200g)
• avocado (1, ripe)
• mango (1, ripe)
• lemon (1, juiced)
• olive oil (30ml)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• chili flakes (1/2 tsp)
• fresh basil (handful, chopped)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• pot
• knife
• cutting board
• garlic press
• mixing bowl
• potato masher

To start, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Meanwhile, peel and pit the avocado and mango, then dice them into small chunks. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado and mango with the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the mixing bowl with the avocado and mango mixture. Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. For a creamier consistency, use a potato masher to lightly mash the avocado and mango.

Serve the creamy avocado and mango pasta in bowls, garnished with additional basil leaves and a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick. This dish is best enjoyed fresh and warm, allowing the flavors to come together beautifully.

One clever tip for this dish is to use slightly underripe avocado and mango for a firmer texture and a hint of tanginess in the sauce. This will add a unique contrast to the creaminess of the dish.
