Ingredients:
- 200g pasta of your choice (I used GF pasta)
- 1 avocado
- handful basil leaves
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 60 ml extra virgin oil
- pinch of sea salt and white pepper
- 60 ml pasta cooking water
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves
- 60 g Macadamia Parmesan, to serve
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta in plenty of lightly salted boiling water until al dente.
- Meanwhile, combine the avocado, basil leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, white pepper and pasta cooking water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust if needed, adding more water etc for consistency.
- Drain the pasta into a large servicing bowl, reserving a little more of the cooking water to use if required. Pour over the avocado puree. Add the spinach leaves and toss through, adding more water if needed for consistency.
- Serve topped with Macadamia Parmesan and enjoy. You can also toss through steamed green beans or dollop over little coconut yoghurt before serving.
