Sensual Avocado Pasta
in the most sensual and creamy pasta you’ve ever had. And, the best part about this is that there’s no cream or butter in this. All you need is simple, fresh ingredients. That’s it.
Ingredients
- 2 portions of spaghetti
- 2 ripe avocados halved, seeded and peeled
- 5 fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup mangold Swiss chard
- 1 celery
- 1 plantain
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain well.
- To make the avocado sauce, combine avocados, basil, garlic and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Still mixing, add olive oil in a slow stream until emulsified. Set aside.
- Put a bit coconut oil in a pot. Cook sliced mangold, plantains, onion and celery for about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss pasta, avocado sauce, and vegetables. Serve and enjoy this creamy heaven.
- Just don’t heat an avocado for more than a few minutes, since cooking turns the fruit bitter.
