Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti (or another favorite pasta; we also like this with penne)
1/4 cup pine nuts (divided)
1 ripe avocado (pitted and peeled)
2 cups kale leaves (ribs removed and torn into medium pieces)
2 medium cloves garlic
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. RESERVE 1 CUP OF THE WATER YOU COOKED THE PASTA IN.
  • While the pasta cooks, toast the pine nuts. Place in a skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the toasted pine nuts to a pitcher of a high-powered blender along with the avocado, kale, garlic, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Puree until completely smooth, adding more water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to keep it moving.
  • Add cooked and drained pasta to your serving bowl. Pour the avocado-kale sauce over the top. Toss to combine. Top with remaining pine nuts. Serve immediately.

This pasta dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would have been better with less avocado.

I wasn't a fan of this pasta dish. I found the avocado sauce to be too bland and the kale was too tough.
