Ingredients
  

12 ounces of spaghetti or linguine

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed

2 cloves of garlic, finely minced

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 2 limes)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, with extra for serving

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Zest of 1 lime

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil, seasoning it well with salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta in a colander. Set the drained pasta aside.

    Prepare the Avocado Sauce: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocados, fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend all these ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the sauce appears too thick, gradually incorporate some of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired creaminess and ease of mixing.

      Combine Pasta and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained pasta and spoon in the creamy avocado sauce. Toss the pasta thoroughly to ensure every strand is generously coated. If the sauce needs a bit more looseness to adhere well, add a little more of the reserved pasta water until the texture is just right.

        Serve the Dish: Portion the creamy avocado pasta onto individual plates. Top each serving with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of additional grated Parmesan cheese. Add fresh cilantro leaves as a delightful garnish, if you choose.

          Savor Your Creation: Serve this vibrant dish immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy flavors of your avocado lime pasta!
