1/4 cup fresh basil leaves or/and cilantro or parsley I used basil and cilantro and it was amazing!
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook your pasta according to the package. Drain well.
While the pasta is cooking, place the avocado, olive oil,parmesan cheese, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender or food processor and blend well. You can leave it chunky or process it until it's creamy.
Toss the pasta with the avocado sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and top with parmesan or romano cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

This is an excellent side dish, but it could also be a main dish with the addition of a protein. Rotisserie chicken would be excellent. Maybe shrimp?
