So fresh, creamy and easy.
1 pound dried linguine
1 bunch basil leaves
½ cup pine nuts
2 ripe avocados
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about ½ of a lemon)
3 cloves garlic
½ cup olive oil
Salt to taste (I use sea salt)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (optional, I haven't yet tried it this way)
Cook pasta as you normally would, while it is cooking pit the avocados and scoop the meat out into your food processor, add the rest of your ingredients until creamy and smooth. Toss with the cooked, drained linguine.
Serves 3-5 depending on if you are serving with fresh bread/garlic bread and doing a cooked veggie side or salads. Also goes great with a glass of wine, in my opinion :thumbup:
