Spinach avocado pasta

Avocado is many of our favorite. I usually prepare guacamole, chapathis. This time I tried with pasta which turned out very yum!!! When searched in Google, I got the recipe with basil. Actually I wanted to use fresh basil instead of spinach but I didn't have that, so tried spinach which was also very tasty.

If you are using basil you can just pulse it. No need to cook. Spinach avocado pasta was very creamy without butter and cheese. A very quick recipe indeed.

Ingredients:

• Pasta - 2 cups
• Spinach - 1/4 cup
• Avocado - 1
• Garlic - 2
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Pepper and salt - to taste
• Lemon juice - 2 tbsp

Method:

Boil the pasta as per package instruction. Drain it.

Heat a small pan add a tsp of oil with spinach and garlic. Saute till it is cooked. Using a food processor or blender pulse the spinach with ripe avocado, olive oil, pepper, salt and lemon juice. Pulse till creamy. Mix this creamy mixture with cooked pasta. Serve immediately.

Note:

If you like it to be spicy, add green chillies or jalapenos with spinach while frying.
