Method
To make the avocado sauce, place the diced avocado, crushed garlic, lime juice, olive oil, fresh basil and pepper seasoning in a blender and blitz until smooth. Place to one side.
In a pan, cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add the avocado sauce. Stir through.
Add the peas and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, boil some water and add the asparagus tips.
Cook until bright green and slightly tender (approximately 3 minutes), then drain and place to one side.
Remove the pasta from the heat and serve alongside the asparagus.
Top tips
The possibilities are endless with this dish – it really just acts as a base for you to add to. If you want to boost the protein content, throw in some lean meat, nuts (pine nuts work great), or tofu.
You can also experiment with other veggies – tomatoes and red pepper will add a splash of colour!
