  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 small garlic cloves
  • ripe avocados, pitted
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dry basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • dash of black pepper
  • 1/4 cup 1% milk (60ml)*
  • Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese for serving*

Instructions

  1. Put spaghetti on to boil according to directions on box.
  2. While spaghetti cooks, process the garlic and olive oil until the garlic is at least coarsely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients except the milk and process until smooth.
  3. Add the milk and process until incorporated.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and spoon the sauce mixture into hot pasta pot. Add the spaghetti and stir well until fully combined
  5. Serve with fresh grated cheese of your choice

Notes

The avocado mixture should be the consistency of a thick yogurt after processing. It will thin out when combined with the hot pasta.

*This can be easily turned into a vegan recipe by omitting the cheese and substituting soy milk, rice milk, or even water.
