Fresh and zesty pasta sauce

Genius! The sauce is actually a salad that you add to hot pasta or grains – it melts the avocado a little and warms it all through. Yum yum.

Method

• Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions – or see our Top Tip above.
• While the pasta is cooking prepare the rest of the dish.
• If you are cooking the garlic, do so now. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan and fry it gently for a minute or two, making sure it does not burn. Remove from heat – keeping any remaining oil – and set aside.
• If using the garlic raw, crush and set aside.
• Peel the avocados. Remove the stones and chop into chunks.
• Chop the tomatoes into chunks.
• De-seed the chilli and chop fine.
• Drain the pasta and mix in the prepared vegetables.
• Add the remaining olive oil, lime zest/juice and basil leaves. Season well.
• Serve immediately.
