Avocado Pesto Pasta


This was such a simple recipe and it looks so pretty with the sun-dried tomatoes on top, and the avocado gives the pasta a nice creaminess.

1 lb linguine
1 bunch fresh basil
1/2 c pine nuts
2 avocados, pitted and peeled
2 TBSP lemon juice
3 cloves garlic
1/2 c olive oil (I would use a little less, just add last and keep an eye on your pesto not getting too oily)
Salt and pepper
Sliced sun-dried tomatoes

Cook pasta, set aside.

In food processor combine basil, pine nuts, avocados, lemon juice, garlic, and oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss pasta with pesto and garnish with sun-dried tomatoes.
