Creamy Avocado Pasta

Sorry I have been so MIA lately! I HAVE been cooking...just not blogging. This is a yummy and quick meal. We are fans.
-------------------------------------------------------

  • 1 Medium Ripe Avocado, pitted
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced & lemon zest to garnish
  • 1-2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 c. Fresh Basil
  • 2 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 6 oz Your Choice Pasta ( I did whole wheat spaghetti)
  • Pepper to taste
Boil pasta and cook until Al Dente.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor.  Process until smooth. Add the pitted avocado, basil and salt. Process again until smooth and creamy.
Pour sauce over cooked pasta and toss until evenly combined. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper.

Note: This is only makes about 2-4 servings.
