Avocado Pesto Pasta




A delicious and healthy pasta recipe with avocado pesto!

My Daughter just loves Pasta, !!!..she can have them for B'fast, lunch and dinner..never gets enough of it...I don't know why? well, when she reads this she will say "ma, how can you say this"?do you ever get enough of eggplant or Aubergine!! hehehe...:-)) somehow I am sure this will be her response.. she always looks out for different sauces and methods for her pasta....I had few ripe avocados left , after using them in smoothies, guacamole and freezing some Avocado puree for later use..so my daughter  looked more recipes for avocados and she came up an idea for Avocados in Pasta..and she was very happy to make it all by herself...;-)) so here is the Avocado pasta dish which Hayley made and we all loved it...

You will need:-
  • 1 cup cooked pasta
  • 1 ripe avacado - chopped
  • small bunsh basil
  • 1-2 garlic clove
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese( I didn't use it, there was a enough  good fat for me in Avacado and walnuts)
Method:-

Process together all the ingredients except the pasta, in a food processor untill almost smooth.  Toss together with hot pasta and serve.  Sending it to Siri's event Healing FOODS- Avacado. Also Jo's event Pasta Party.

Yesterday my kind hearted daughter sent me this beautiful gift on my mail...I loved it!! that's my sweetheart..!! I wanted to share yesterday in my 50th post, but the post went so long so I left it for today  to share this gift with all you my friends!!  If you are happy to accept the gift please please collect it...

    I think pesto is perhaps one of my favorite pasta sauce but only because I've never had it with avocado. That would make it my ultimate most favorite EVER. Avocadoes are so amazing. I like the way your daughter thinks.
