Avocado Pesto Pasta

Such a fresh take on a classic pesto pasta! This will be my go-to summer pasta for sure. Creamy, lemony and super yummy! Plus, as always it’s so easy and quick to make, using minimal ingredients.

Ingredients: (preferably organic)

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 pack pasta of choice (I use GF brown rice pasta)
  • hemp seeds, for garnish
  • lemon, for garnish
  • fresh basil, for garnish
  • arugula, for serving

Directions:

01. Cook the pasta until al dente.

02. While the pasta cooks, combine all pesto ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.

03. Mix the pasta with the pesto, sprinkle with hemp seeds, garnish with more lemon and basil and serve over a bed of arugula.
