Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ripe avocado
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2-1 tsp onion, finely minced
1/2-1 tsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp slivered almonds, lightly toasted and finely chopped
16 oz pasta - your choice
2-3 Tbsp melted butter
grated parmesan

Steps:

  • 1. Sauce: Remove avocado from skin and place in a small bowl. Mash with a fork until fairly smooth - it doesn't have to be perfect. Stir in lime juice, mayonnaise, onion, almonds, salt and pepper. Blend well.
  • 2. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • 3. Drain and return to pot. Drizzle with melted butter. Mix to coat the pasta then serve up each individual portion.
  • 4. Spoon on a generous dollop of avocado sauce and gently mix. (The heat from the pasta will "melt" the sauce much like any other pesto), sprinkle with parmesan and enjoy.
