Yesterday was a green pasta kind of day. I whipped up the fastest homemade pasta dish I’ve ever tired and it was so yummy. I found it through Pinterest and takes about 15 minutes to prepare.
Creamy Avocado Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 medium, ripe avocados
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 5 cloves of garlic (use less if not a big fan of garlic)
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 12 oz pasta
- salt and pepper to taste
- parmesan cheese to top
Directions
Bring several cups of water to a boil. Add in pasta, reduce heat and cook until Al Dente. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic, lemon juice, oil and avocado into a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. When pasta is done cooking, drain and place in a large bowl. Pour on sauce and toss until fully combined. Top with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Note: This dish doesn’t reheat well because of the avocado in the sauce, so eat it all!
After we filled our bellies with green pasta, we headed over to Ikea to do some shopping and eat their delicious cinnamon buns. They seriously give Cinabon a run for their money and they one cost a dollar.
Munchkin got to run around in the children’s area, trying out different furniture.
I love walking around Ikea and getting different ideas for my future house. Their rooms are always so fun and modern. While we were in Ikea there was a thunderstorm which created a bunch of rainbows as my Facebook page later showed me. But because the rain passed, the sky on the ride home was gorgeous.
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks. I heard it on the radio in Pennsylvania, didn’t catch the name and could really remember the words. Yesterday while I was doing my elliptical workout, it came on on Pandora and made me so happy. Needless to say, this is the newest addition to my iTunes library. I always thought I wasn’t a fan of country music, but the more I hear of it the more I love it. Don’t tell anyone, they might run me out of New York City. 😉
What types of music do you like to listen to? Have you even been surprised by liking a type of music you always thought you hated?
P.S. I updated my 101 in 1001 list!
Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
My husband and i have been now happy when Emmanuel managed to finish up his studies because of the ideas he received out of the web pages. It is now and again perplexing to simply continually be releasing tips which some other people might have been making money from. And we acknowledge we have got the blog owner to give thanks to for this. The entire explanations you have made, the simple web site menu, the relationships you will help foster – it’s mostly great, and it’s really leading our son and the family reason why this matter is cool, which is rather indispensable. Thanks for the whole thing!
I have made spinach and basil pasta. The color was similar to yours, however, I have never cooked avocado pasta. Sounds like an awesome idea!
