Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz pasta of choice

Мethod of preparation

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, prepare the vibrant pesto sauce. In a food processor, combine the ripe avocados, thawed peas, fresh basil leaves, nuts, and garlic. Pulse a few times to break down the ingredients. Gradually add the olive oil, continuing to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the juice of the lemon, salt, and pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste. Drain your cooked pasta, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot and add the avocado and pea pesto, tossing to coat evenly. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if necessary, ensuring a silky coating on each strand. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves or nuts if desired. The fresh, zesty notes coupled with the creamy texture will surely offer a memorable dining experience!
