Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 200 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 large Avocado
- 30 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 20 grams Fresh parsley
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 30 grams Walnuts (optional)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Pasta cooking water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120 milliliters of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta, then set the pasta aside.
While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the green sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, avocado (remove the pit and scoop out the flesh), basil, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
If you’re using walnuts, add them to the blender as well. Blend until smooth, adding the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the cooked spaghetti to the pot or a large mixing bowl. Pour the green sauce over the spaghetti and toss until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately. For garnish, you can sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese, chopped walnuts, or a few fresh basil leaves on top.
Enjoy your rich and healthy Supreme Green Spaghetti!
