But I've decided to try cooking again. Call me crazy. My goal is to make one new recipe a week. I am hoping it will become easier over time?? My only rule is there can't be very many ingredients because then it just gets too complicated and expensive.
So tonight I made creamy avocado pasta. I got the recipe here, which I found on Pinterest (of course). I'm guessing most of my recipes will be coming from Pinterest! This recipe was healthy and tasted pretty good. I would say it had a "refreshing" taste...good for summer. I would make it again.
Creamy Avocado Pasta
Cook 1 serving angel hair pasta according to package instructions, about 12 minutes (including boiling time!). Meanwhile, combine the juice from ½ a lemon, 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp. olive oil, ½ of an avocado and 1/8 cup basil in a food processor and puree. Toss together pasta and sauce and season with salt to taste.
Here are the ingredients. Pretty simple!
While the water was coming up to a boil, I did the other prep work. The recipe claims to only take 12 minutes, but I'm not as fast as them apparently. It took me a while to peel the garlic and cut up the avocado, but I think if I did it again I would be faster.
I put all of the ingredients in a blender (expect the pasta, duh) and hit "puree" and this is what came out.
Creamy avocado-ness.
Then I just mixed it in with the noodles! I added the salt at the end and also added some olive oil because it seemed a tad dry. But overall it turned out pretty good!
