Creamy Avo-Fredo Sauce

Not to brag or anything, but I just made the best pasta sauce EVER.

It was so good that when Eric wasn't looking, I licked my bowl. And spoon. And food processor.

It all started when I had one lonely avocado ripening quickly in my fruit/vegetable/candy basket. Of course I couldn't let this thing go to waste, and I didn't have the rest of the ingredients for guacamole, so I looked around the kitchen, threw a few things in the food processor, and came up with this delightfully light, but sinfully delicious...

Creamy Avo-Fredo Sauce!! 

I served my sauce over some whole-grain rotini noodles, but any pasta would work! I would give the whole-grain noodles a try though, especially with this sauce. It makes a yummy combination! 

Here's a picture of the pasta I used, in case you want to be a complete copy-cat: 

Now for the good stuff...

Creamy Avo-Fredo Sauce

Servings: 2

Ingredients: 

• 1 Avocado
• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
• 1/4 cup half and half (I used fat free!)
• 1/4 tsp minced garlic (or 1 medium clove of fresh garlic) 
• 1 Tbs lemon juice (or the juice of half of a lemon) 
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions: 

• Scoop out all the meat from the avocado and place in food processor. Put the rest of the ingredients in, and process until smooth. 
• Resist the urge to eat it directly from the food processor. 
• Serve over your pasta of choice, sprinkle with parmesan if you'd like, and enjoy! 

**I served the sauce over freshly cooked noodles that were still warm, so it warmed up the sauce a tad. You can heat up the sauce if you'd like, but I think it's awesome just straight out of the food processor.
