15-Minute Pasta with Avocado Spinach Pesto (Kid approved!)

• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 5 minutes
• 总时间: 15 minutes

配料

8 oz pasta, (bowtie or any other pasta shape you prefer)

1 ripe avocado

1/2 cup baby spinach, (not packed)

1/2 cup fresh basil, (not packed)

1/4 cup parmesan, (plus more for servings)

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper, (to taste)

步骤

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add pasta, and cook according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and place back into the pot.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, add the avocado, spinach, basil, parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Turn on the food processor and let run for 1-3 minutes, scrapping down sides every 30 seconds or so. If the pesto is too thick, you can add in 1 tbsp of olive oil at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Add as much Avocado Spinach Pesto to your pasta as you prefer. Sprinkle with a little more parmesan and serve.
