Put a healthful California twist on a traditional Italian favorite and you’ve got Avocado Pesto Pasta. Adding avocado to pesto creates a rich and creamy texture without using cheese. Kids and adults often tell me this is the best pasta they’ve ever eaten!

Step 1
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make the pesto by combining basil, pine nuts, avocados, lemon juice, garlic, and oil in a food processor. Process until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Toss pasta with pesto. For an extra touch of color and flavor, top pasta with cherry or sun- dried tomatoes. Divide pasta among serving bowls and garnish each serving with a basil leaf.
