Avocado pasta

Avocado pasta - originally posted by Rosie at The Londoner

I don't post recipes on here very often, so this is a rare foodie post from me. I saw this recipe on The Londoner and knew I had to make it as soon as possible. I had all the ingredients at home, but had to find some avocados on the way home from work - I was a woman on a mission!

This is an amazing, quick, healthy meal - and it tastes so good! Sorry about the phone pictures, I wanted to make and eat this immediately so obviously fetching my camera and SD card was too much of a set back.  

The recipe (serves 2) - (P.s. I'm not very good at following recipes so this is a bit different to Rosie's version).
You will need:

• enough pasta for two people (I don't know how much that is, I guess and usually get it wrong).
• 2 avocados
• the juice of half a large lemon 
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• a big handful of fresh basil (or use a big teaspoon of pesto)
• salt & pepper

Put your pasta of choice on to cook - I used twirly, spiral pasta (technical term).
Roughly chop the avocados and, with the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and salt & pepper, add to a blender and blend until smooth. (I used a hand-held blender).
Once your pasta is cooked, drain and stir the avocado paste through. The heat of the pasta warms the avocado.
And taadaaaa, eat :)

I've got some leftovers ready in the fridge for work and I am so excited! (By the time you read this I will have eaten said leftovers and I will be very happy).
What do you think about the sound of this? Let me know if you decide to give it a try :) x
