Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 medium Ripe avocados
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and 3-4 fresh basil leaves to the blender.
Blend the avocado mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Chop the remaining basil leaves into thin strips for garnish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine and the avocado sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Gently fold the halved cherry tomatoes into the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with the chopped basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Fettuccine with Avocado Tomato Sauce!
