Ingredients

  • 12 ounces long pasta (spaghetti, angel hair, or penne)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (2 for sauce, 1 for garnish)
  • Optional: fresh herbs, chili flakes, pine nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  2. In a food processor, combine garlic, avocados, basil, parsley, heavy cream, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Return drained pasta to the pot. Pour avocado sauce over hot pasta and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
  4. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top and garnish with fresh herbs or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lemon juice to prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Try coconut milk or cashew cream for a dairy-free option.
  • Blend in spinach or arugula for added greens.
  • Serve with toppings like roasted tomatoes, grilled chicken, or mushrooms for variation.
  • Best enjoyed fresh—store leftovers for up to 1 day only.
