How to Make Avocado Cream Pasta

  1. Cook your pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the avocado cream sauce: In a blender, combine 2 cloves garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, 1 ripe avocado (peeled and pitted), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the avocado cream sauce and toss gently to coat.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives (or your preferred olives).
