Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound Fettuccine dry
  • 1 Avocado large, very ripe and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the pasta to the pot and cook until al dente, or according to the package instructions. Do not drain the water after cooking — you need the cooking water for the sauce.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender, place the avocado halves, olive oil, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pulse briefly to combine, and then stream in 1/2 - 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Combine the pasta and avocado sauce and serve with extra Parmesan on top.
