3 avocados, shelled and pitted
2 Tbs lemon juice
5 cloves garlic
1 tsp Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil
4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1) Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Rinse, drain and set aside.
2) Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic cloves, lemon juice and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Now add in the avocado, basil. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Process until smooth and creamy.
3) Place pasta in large bowl, then pour on sauce and toss until fully combined.
4) Serve immediately. Please note this will not reheat well due to the avocado.
Review: This was an incredibly easy dish! Unfortunately, I forgot to add the lemon juice to the mix. The sauce tasted like it was lacking something and it was likely due to the missing lemon juice. I thought lemon juice would only prevent the avocado from turning brown. However, as I was discussing my disappointment with this sauce at work, a wonderful coworker informed me lemon juice will also enhance the flavor of the avocado. Oops. It sounds like it's an easy fix to make this dish tasty next time. I do plan to make this again, as we love avocados in this house and the recipe is easy and fast to make!!
