Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
¼ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
½ lemon, juiced
½ cup fresh basil, or more to taste
2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
2 cloves garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes, or more to taste
2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne, and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mostly cooked through, but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add shrimp to boiling water and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain penne and shrimp; transfer back to empty pot.
Blend avocado, lemon juice, basil, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a food processor until smooth. Add olive oil and pulse until creamy. Remove blade from food processor and stir diced tomatoes into the creamy pesto. Transfer pesto to pot with pasta and shrimp; stir to coat. Serve with about 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, salt, and black pepper.

CREAMY AVOCADO PESTO PASTA

Creamy Avocado Pesto Pasta image

The addition of avocado lends a lovely creamy texture to this pesto. The ripe fruit imparts richness to the sauce, while nutty roasted pepitas add a deep toasty flavor. If you can only find raw pepitas, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, then toast in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until they start to pop and turn golden brown. Shower the dressed pasta with more crunchy pepitas for a nice contrast to the velvety sauce. Leftover pesto can be refrigerated for two days; press the surface with plastic wrap to avoid discoloration (any browned areas on top should be scraped off before using). The pesto also makes a tasty avocado toast, sandwich spread or crudité dip.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup roasted, salted pepitas, plus more for garnish
1 small garlic clove
1 medium (ripe) avocado
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 3 ounces), plus more for garnish
3 packed cups fresh basil leaves (about 3 ounces), plus more for garnish
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fusilli or rotini

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse pepitas and garlic until finely chopped. Halve avocado, discard the pit and scoop out flesh. (You should have about 3/4 cup, or 5 ounces.) Add avocado flesh, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to food processor and pulse until chunky.
Add cheese and basil to food processor. With motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup water, then drizzle in oil until well blended, scraping down sides as needed. Transfer 2 cups of pesto to a large bowl. Refrigerate any remaining pesto for another use.
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta. Add pasta and pasta water to pesto in large bowl and toss until pasta is nicely coated in sauce.
Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top with more pepitas, cheese and basil.

CREAMY AVOCADO PESTO

Creamy Avocado Pesto image

This creamy pesto is indulgent without being overly rich, thanks to heart-healthy avocado and just a touch of olive oil. Also, since it uses a fresh avocado for its creamy consistency, rather than pricey Parmesan cheese, it's less expensive to make than traditional pesto.
