Ingredients
- 1 linguine
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 c chicken stock
- 1 c basil packed (chopped fresh)
- 1/4 c parmensan cheese
- 2 tb olive oil
- 2 tb pine nuts (toasted)
- 2 ts lemon juice
- 1/4 c parsley packed (chopped fresh)
- 2 ts garlic (crushed)
tbsp of the Parmensan cheese, stock and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over pasta. Sprinkle with pine nuts and remaining Parmensan cheese. Toss. tips: Even with lemon juice the pesto may discolour, if this happens, skim off the darkened surface and discard. Toast pine nuts in a skillet on stove top for 2 to 3 minutes until brown. This is like a guacamole dressing with much less fat due to the basil and parsley. For a stronger flavor use all basil and no parsley.
