How to Make Pasta with Creamy Avocado "Pesto" Sauce
- 1Sauce: Remove avocado from skin and place in a small bowl. Mash with a fork until fairly smooth - it doesn't have to be perfect. Stir in lime juice, mayonnaise, onion, almonds, salt and pepper. Blend well.
- 2Cook pasta according to package directions.
- 3Drain and return to pot. Drizzle with melted butter. Mix to coat the pasta then serve up each individual portion.
- 4Spoon on a generous dollop of avocado sauce and gently mix. (The heat from the pasta will "melt" the sauce much like any other pesto), sprinkle with parmesan and enjoy.
