Hey :)

I just wanted to share this great idea with you. We just had it for dinner and loved it.

As a student I love pasta with stuff.
I often just eat spagetti with pesto.
Although I know pesto is not the worst thing to eat, I always kinda felt bad when I ate much of it.
So today I tried pesto with an avocado base.

Recipe:

1 Avocado
1 piece of garlic (I don't know the correct term... sorry!)
some basil leafs / dried basil
1 small onion
1-2 teaspoons lemon / lime juice
50g of parmesan / mozzarella
salt, pepper

put everything in a bowl and mix it. Put onto pasta. Add some cut tomatoes if you like.
Of course you can add some more garlic if you want, or add some chili :)

It was great. One portion (half of the above mentioned pesto + 180g cooked pasta) was around 580 calories and I feel super filled now.

Wish you a great day / evening =)

    Wow, that sounds delicious! I will give it a try as I just returned home from grocery shopping and have all of the ingredients, including fresh basil from my garden. Thank you for sharing!
