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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Chop the remaining basil leaves into thin strips for garnish.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine and the avocado sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Step 6
Gently fold the halved cherry tomatoes into the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Step 7
Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with the chopped basil leaves.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Fettuccine with Avocado Tomato Sauce!
