Avocado Pasta

My daughter Maggie gave this original recipe to me. She loves fresh fruit, vegetables, pasta and quick easy yummy recipes like this one. - Enjoy!

2 servings of pasta
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1/4 cup of Parmesan

Boil water for pasta when water is boiling add pasta and cook to al dente. While water is boiling and pasta is cooking, make the avocado sauce. Finely chop garlic and combine with olive oil in microwavable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and you have just made garlic infused olive oil which is great in anything that requires olive oil.

Combine garlic infused olive oil, avocado, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt in a blender and blend until smooth
Pour over the cooked pasta and top with Parmesan and mix until all pasta is covered.

Note: This is great over any grain or spaghetti squash. The sauce can be expanded for additional servings by adding avocado. Also I usually add about 1-2 tablespoons of goat cheese, if I have it on hand.
