Okay, so I was craving something different. Something new. Which is what I crave almost every day - hence my unending need to constantly find and try recipes.
So, when I saw a description of a lemon avocado pasta, I knew I had to try it. I would be adventurous and try some sort of strange new sauce. Let me tell you - it was not bad! Strange at first - but delicious! It was mostly strange just because it was so different from anything I'd had before.
The starting line up for this dish isn't unusual. These are ingredients I've used thousands of times before. Pasta. 1 whole avocado. 1 lemon - both the juice and the zest. 2 garlic cloves minced up nicely (don't be cruel to the garlic). Salt - I used about 1/2 tsp. 1/4 c. fresh basil chopped. Read about how I chop my basil here. 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Black pepper. Shredded chicken (This is totes optional. Easily made a vegetarian meal without it). And some parmesan cheese for topping - but only if you want. And I want. I really, really want.
Cook your pasta. Drain it. That was the hardest part. DONE.
Now for the sauce. Put the avocado, lemon juice, garlic, salt, basil, olive oil, and pepper in a blender.
Blend it. WOW. This is quite difficult to explain because of how complicated each step is. I sure hope you don't mess it up.
Just kidding. This is super easy and I have full and total confidence that you will be able to make this.
Put some pasta in a bowl. Add the shredded chicken. Then put the sauce on. Top it with the lemon zest and parmesan cheese.
Stir it all up. Eat it. Love it.
Delish.
