Serves 4
How hungry are you? Can you wait 12 minutes, because that’s exactly how long it takes to make this simple and delicious meal.
You will need:
- 400g of your favourite pasta, I used linguine
- 2 ripe avocados
- A few basil leaves
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp of lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- A 200g tin of sweetcorn
- A few cherry tomatoes
- Some kind of food processor
Right, fill a large pan with boiling water, stick your pasta in it and cook it however it says on the packet.
Whilst that’s doing its thing we can make the sauce, halve your avocados, peel them and get rid of the seed, stick them in the food processor along with the basil leaves, peeled garlic and a twist of salt & pepper to taste.
Process it all together until smooth.
With the processor running drizzle in 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil until the sauce emulsifies, you’ll see the sauce change in consistency and thicken. You might not have to put all of the oil in so see how you get on.
Drain your sweetcorn and quarter your cherry tomatoes.
Your pasta should be done by now (see it’s that quick), drain it and return it to the pan, stir in your avocado sauce, sweetcorn, tomatoes and serve!
