There are a lot of versions of this recipe around. For a creamier sauce, use an extra avocado, a dash of full fat coconut milk in place of half of the pasta water

Steps

30 mins

1

Cook the spaghetti as the packet directs you to, in salted water
2

When the pasta is done, add the avocado flesh, garlic, spinach, basil and lemon juice to a blender and pour 120mls (1/2 cup) of the hot pasta water in
3

Puree smooth, adding up to 60 mls (1/4 cup) more pasta water if required until you reach your desired thickness of sauce
4

If adding chilli flakes and / or bacon, stir into the sauce after you've pureed it
5

Drain the pasta and return to the pan
6

Pour the sauce in, toss gently to coat then serve
7

Fry or grill the bacon until crispy then chop up and stir into the spaghetti and sauce
8

Dry fry the pine nuts until they begin to turn golden then remove from the pan to a cool plate immediately. Use as a topping for the spaghetti
9

My recipe for dairy-free parmesan cheese goes great sprinkled over this. Nutritional yeast flakes would be great too
