Pasta with avocado sauce makes a quick dinner: blend ripe avocado with garlic, lemon, olive oil, and basil into a creamy sauce, then toss with hot pasta. The sauce is not cooked, so it stays vibrant green.

Ingredients

4 servings

Spaghetti 400 g
Avocados (ripe) 2
Garlic cloves 2
Lemon 1
Olive oil 3 tbsp
Basil (fresh, a handful of leaves) 15 g
Parmesan (grated) 30 g
Salt 1/2 tsp
Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cook the pasta
10 min
Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 100 ml of the pasta cooking water, then drain.
Blend the sauce
5 min
Blend the avocado flesh with the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, most of the basil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Toss and serve
Toss the hot pasta with the sauce, thinning it with the reserved pasta water as needed. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan and basil leaves.

Tip: Blend the sauce just before serving—avocado browns quickly when exposed to air, and lemon juice only slows the process.
