Pasta with Creamy Avocado Sauce and Bacon

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 27 minutes
Yield: 3 -4 Servings
This pasta is incredibly rich and creamy, but the sauce is mostly just avocado! No dairy. Bacon makes it extra special!

Ingredients
 

  • 9 oz short pasta of choice
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 8 basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Shaved Parmesan, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, add the flesh of the avocados, basil leaves, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a food processor. Process until completely smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  • In the same pot used to cook the pasta, add the olive oil and heat over medium-heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add the sauce. Stir to mix with the garlic and tomatoes. Once hot, add the pasta and all but a little bit of the bacon to the pot and stir until pasta is completely coated with sauce and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • To serve, spoon pasta into bowls and top with remaining bacon and shaved Parmesan.
