Cook The Pasta
- Fill the Dutch oven or a large pot with water, add salt, and bring it to a boil.
- Add spaghetti or any pasta of your choice and cook according to the package directions.
- Reserve 1 cup of hot pasta cooking water before draining the pasta. Set it aside.
Prepare The Avocado Pasta Sauce
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a blender or food processor.
- Add Greek yogurt, coriander, lemon juice, and garlic cloves to the mix.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
- If the sauce seems too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
- Grab a large bowl, and place the warm pasta in it.
- Pour the avocado sauce over the pasta and toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Add a little more pasta water to thin out the sauce if needed.
