what's for dinner tonight: creamy, roasted garlic and avocado pasta

Avocado's are one of my favorite things to eat. Anything with avocado is delicious to me, so when I thought of this recipe, I could wait to head over to Checker's to get myself some Hass avocados. They're on sale for 88 cents each, too! This recipe was amazingly simple to make, and it tastes so, so yummy!


Ingredients: 
1/2 lbs of spaghetti pasta
1 Hass avocado
2 garlic cloves
A small handful of basil
1 tbsp of lime juice
1 cup of vegetable stock 
Grated Parmesan 
1 tbsp. of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste


Cook the spaghetti until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Pour some olive oil and salt into the water to season the pasta, and to prevent it from sticking together. 


Oven roast the garlic by broiling the two cloves of garlic for a couple of minutes of each side.


Meanwhile, cut and pit the avocado.


In a food processor or blender, spoon out the avocado bits, and add the garlic, basil, olive oil, lime juice, veggie stock and salt and pepper.


It kind of looks like goopy guac after it's completely processed.


Drain the pasta and put it back into the pot, pour out the sauce into the pot.


Mix well!


Garnish with some Parmesan. 

Enjoy! Nom, nom, nom...
