Instructions

  • Boil the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, add the avocados, basil, lime juice, salt, water, and garlic clove in a food processor and pulse until it’s a creamy sauce. You may have to scrape down the sides a couple of times. 
  • Once the noodles are soft, drain them and put them back in the pot.
  • Pour over the avocado sauce and give it a good mix.
  • Taste and add more salt & lime juice to taste.
  • Divide the Avocado Pasta onto two plates and top it with olives and tomatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

For a low carb variation, use spiralized zucchini instead of pasta. Sprinkle the spiralized zucchini with salt, let it sit half an hour and drain it. Ready are your raw zucchini noodles.
