Serves: 4
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
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¾ to 1 cup pasta water
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- 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.
