Creamy Sundried Tomato and Avocado Pesto

Creamy Sundried Tomato and Avocado Pesto

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3-4

The only ingredients in this pesto recipe are avocado, sundried tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes, and they blend together in just a few minutes in a food processor. The rich creaminess of the sauce comes from fresh avocado, and the sundried tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and a lovely pop of red. This is the perfect way to put your garden basil to use when your go-to homemade pesto recipe is feeling a bit stale.

Ingredients

12 ounces spaghetti (I used brown rice pasta), cooked according to package instructions with ½ cup cooking water reserved
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
1/2 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/4 cup packed basil leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional Garnishes
basil
drizzle of olive oil
sprinkle of malden sea salt
