A while ago avocado pasta was THE thing to try, at least according to food blogs out there in the bloggosphere. The simple truth is that it is yummy - if you like avocados that is. And to continue our obsession with foods that can help your thinking muscles, we though avocados would be great to try, as it seems to quite useful (as are tomatoes). The following is my version of the dish, which is quick (takes the same amount of time as for your pasta to boil) and easy and will feed two people.
- two avocados
- two handfulls of cherry tomatoes
- garlic and chili infused oil
- squeeze of lemon
- salt
- Pasta of your choosing
While your pasta boils, peel the avocados and smooch them with a fork in to a paste. Squeeze some lemon on top and add salt. Mix in the quartered tomatoes.
Drain your pasta and drip a generous amount of the garlic chili oil on it. Mix the avocado/tomato mixture with the pasta and leave it on the hob for a moment so that the tomato pieces are warmed up.
Serve it as it is or with some parmesan cheese.
If an infused oil, like the one I used, is not available, add some heat from chilies in a different way by either dried chilies or fresh. Avocado pasta really needs that little punch that chili offers. Some dried garlic powder might be nice to add as well with a drop of olive oil.
