This is certainly one of the easiest pasta dishes I've ever thrown together. One avocado, some lemon juice, EVOO, a garlic clove and some fresh basil, all tossed into the food processor. Toss with half a pound of pasta (I used thin spaghetti), garnish with more fresh basil and some lemon zest, and serve. Although I made the avocado sauce in advance, it would have been just as easy to throw it together while my six minute pasta was cooking. Serves 2-3 people.

The result was a creamy pasta, with a lovely presentation. It was tasty, but a little bland for me. Its flavor will depend on the quality of your avocado. Next time I make it, I will likely up the amount of garlic, and maybe add some diced tomato. And some bacon bits? Could try other variants on this ... cooked crab or shrimp, or shredded chicken.

I had reserved some of the pasta water to toss with the pasta in case the sauce was too thick, and I ended up being glad I did.
