This recipe instantly appealed from Chungah's eye catching cookery website where she says... "I can eat avocados in the most glorious, most creamy pasta I’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.
So how is this so creamy? Well, all you need are a couple of ripe avocados, fresh basil leaves, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. From there, you can just throw it all into a food processor and give it a whirl! Done and done.
Toss it with your favorite pasta noodles – spaghetti, rotini, macaroni, etc. – along with some fresh veggies.
You can really use any veggies you’d like but I loved the sweet corn kernels and crisp cherry tomatoes.
Plus, it’ll be on your dinner table in 20 min from start to finish. It doesn’t get much easier than that!"...
