Ingredients for Creamy Avocado and Spinach Pasta
Ingredients | Quantity |

Garlic | 1 clove |
Avocado | 1 |
Spinach (fresh) | 1 cup |
Pecans | 1/2 cup |
Basil | 1/4 cup |
Parmesan cheese (grated) | 1/4 cup |
Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) | 1 tablespoon |

Preparation for Creamy Avocado and Spinach Pasta
- Prepare the pasta by cooking it in accordance with the directions provided on the package.
- To prepare the avocado sauce, place the other ingredients in a blender and process until a smooth sauce is formed. Begin with three quarters of a cup and a half of the pasta water, then add more as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Assemble: To serve, toss the pasta in the bowl with the sauce, and then do so as soon as possible. Because of the inclusion of avocados, which can acquire a brownish color after being exposed to air, this sauce is best when served on the same day that it was produced.
