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

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 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. 4

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

  5. 5

    Drain the pasta and return to the pan

  6. 6

    Pour the sauce in, toss gently to coat then serve

  7. 7

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

  8. 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. 9

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