A yummy, quick, satisfying pasta dish we refer to as "Super Hero Pasta" because of the green color (think little boys and the Green Lantern...). The original recipe for the sauce comes from here (so no, I am not claiming this as my original recipe!!!!), but we usually triple the sauce and use spiral pasta and broccoli florets cooked together for an "easy to eat for babies and kids" dinner. I also switch out the cilantro for basil a lot.
Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados
Juice of two limes, or 2 frozen lime cubes (i sometimes freeze lime juice in ice cube trays in the freezer)
1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic
1 large handful cilantro or basil (both are yummy in the end - just produce slightly different flavors)
2 t good salt
1 package spiral pasta
2 more t good salt (for seasoning the pasta and broccoli)
3 c broccoli florets (chopped into bite sized pieces)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions, adding a couple of teaspoons of salt to the cooking water. With about 5 minutes left of cooking time, add the broccoli. Strain everything together.
In a blender, combine the avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. You may need to use the tamper to get things mixing well.
Combine pasta, broccoli, and sauce in a larger serving dish. We eat this alone or with fruit and rolls.
