AVOCADO BASIL PESTO PASTA... oh my yumminess!!! This is not my own invention/creation/recipe but who ever thought of using avocado is pretty genius. I was looking on pinterest and I came across a photo of avocado basil pasta and it looked very appetizing. So I made it for me and my sister for lunch  yesterday and I was pretty impressed with the flavors.The avocado makes it nice and creamy, which is about the only way I can really enjoy pasta.  On top of that it was a healthy meal so there was no need to cheat on our healthy eating :)

Avocado pasta:
  • multi grain pasta
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup greek yogurt plain
  • basil pesto (store bought jar)
  • chicken (how ever much you want)
  • dry basil
  • lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice
Puree your avocado, lime juice, and greek yogurt together. Put your puree in a bowl and fold in 1 1/2 tbsn of your basil pesto. Just put the pasta to cook as you normally would. For the chicken, add dry basil and lemon pepper and grill it on a skillet using olive oil. once your pasta and chicken are all cooked, mix your pasta, chicken, and puree together and your pasta is done :) let me know what you guys think of the recipe!
