Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Spaghetti: Bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain without rinsing.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Avocado Sauce: In a food processor, blend ripe avocados, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, basil leaves, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add reserved pasta water gradually for desired consistency.
  3. Combine Spaghetti and Sauce: Transfer drained spaghetti back into the pot. Pour the creamy avocado sauce over spaghetti and toss gently with tongs.

  5. Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh while warm to experience the vibrant flavors.
