Description

Ingredients

• 10 oz spaghetti or fettuccine (I used semolina pasta)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 avocado
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ½ cup pecans
• ¼ cup basil
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ¾ to 1 cup pasta water
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
• While pasta is cooking, add the rest of the ingredients to your blender and blend until it turns into a smooth sauce. Start with ¾ cup of pasta water and add more as needed to get the consistency you want.
• Toss the pasta with the sauce in a bowl and serve immediately. This sauce is best served the day it is made, as it uses avocados which will turn a brownish color.
