Mexitalian

I am really into reading vegetarian and vegan blogs lately, and my sister Courtney sent me a link to an awesome one! Particularly to this recipe, because she thought it looked really good. It looked so good that I made it last night for dinner!
The ingredients:
avocado
(whole wheat spaghetti, lemon, garlic, basil, avocado, olive oil, black pepper)
The avocados were PERFECT! Is there anything better than perfectly ripe avocados?

You just blend all those ingredients into a sauce and mix it with the cooked pasta.

And of course, we unveganized it by adding chicken and parmesan cheese:
avocado pasta

It was... good. Really good. But not the most amazing pasta I've ever eaten. Glenn gave it a 7 out of 10. We just couldn't quite get past the fact that it tasted like guacamole and spaghetti mixed together. It was SO easy, and definitely good enough to eat that I'm glad I tried it.

(warning: green spaghetti=green splatters of sauce on everyone's clothes. Even Violet's.)

  2. It sounds good and it seems like the chicken and parmesan would improve it . . .
