You won’t believe there isn’t cream in this recipe once you taste it!
Below is the basic outline for the recipe, and below that is a list of ideas to change things up a bit. If you’re adventurous, try coming up with your own fun ideas!
Ingredients:
- 450g (~15 oz) spaghetti
- 2 avocados – halved, pitted, peeled
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 3 green onions, chopped
- juice of one lemon (or 1/2 a lemon, if you’re not that into lemon!)
- 1/4 cup Olive~Me & Co. House Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped (and a bit to garnish)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions
- While the pasta is cooking, make your sauce: in a food processor, add avocado, garlic, green onion, lemon juice, parsley, salt & pepper. Pulse the mixture until it starts to blend well.
- Once your pasta is cooked, set aside about a 1/2 cup of pasta water. Then drain your pasta. Add the reserved water into the avocado mixture and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce onto your pasta and toss to coat. Garnish with parsley.
IDEAS:
- try replacing the lemon with lime, and the parsley with cilantro
- try topping each dish with a fried egg, over easy to over medium
- add cayenne pepper into your sauce for a kick of heat
- try sprinkling your servings with nutritional yeast flakes for a nutty/cheesy flavour
- try different noodles. Shells, bowties, etc.
- omit the garlic and use our Roasted Garlic Olive Oil instead of our House Blend Olive Oil
