Green Goddess Power Pasta
Ingredients
- 250g pasta of your choice (penne, spirals, or spaghetti work well)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 large handful of baby spinach
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup water (adjust for desired sauce consistency)
Preparation
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook according to packet instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, spinach, avocado oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until smooth, adding more water a little at a time until you reach a creamy, pourable consistency.
Pour the green sauce over the warm pasta and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tips
Top with extra baby spinach, chilli flakes, nutritional yeast or a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
