Ingredients
  

  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • ¼ cup olive Oil
  • 6 green onions
  • ½ lime (more or less, depending on how juicy the lime is)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper (preferably fresh ground)
  • 1 pack spaghetti (approx. 340g)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Prepare the Avocado Sauce

  • Clean and dice the bell peppers, chop the green onions, mince the garlic and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Keep all ingredients separated.
  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and peel the skin off. The avocados should be ripe, so the skin should peel off nicely. Chop the avocado flesh in medium small dices and fill them into a large bowl.
  • Add ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of half a lime, cumin, salt and fresh ground pepper to the avocados. Set the bowl aside.
  • Heat some olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat and saute the diced bell peppers for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the green onions, garlic and cherry tomatoes to the pan and stir fry on low heat for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour the hot vegetables over the avicado mix and stir. The ripe avocados should melt a little due to the heat from the vegetables.

Boil the Pasta

  • Set a large pot with water on the stovetop and turn it to medium high heat. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water
  • Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package.

Mix the Pasta into the Avocado Sauce

  • When the pasta is cooked, strain the water and give them hot into the bowl with the avocado sauce. Using two large cooking spoons, mix the sauce carefully into the pasta from the bottom up.
