AVOCADO AND SPINACH PESTO



Avocado and Spinach Pesto image

This is a version of Giada's Avocado and Arugala pesto that I used when I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand. It tastes really rich and creamy so it's hard to believe that it's good for you! I added chicken to it but it would be great with shrimp too.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water (3 quarts water, a tablespoon of salt) to a boil. Add the dry pasta (12 ounces) after the water is boiling. Stir occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook pasta until al dente (cooked through, but firm to the bite). Cook time will vary depending on your variety of pasta, but it will take approximately 7-12 minutes.
  • Place your chopped spinach (2 packed cupin a large bowl. When the pasta is done, take out about a half cup of the pasta cooking water and set aside to use later. Drain the pasta and place in the bowl with the chopped spinach. Mix together. The heat from the pasta will help wilt the spinach leaves a little and this is what you want.
  • Stir in the prepared pesto (6-8 tablespoons) so that the pasta is well coated. Next, add in a little of the pasta cooking water you set aside to moisten the pasta a bit. You may not need it all, but add it until the pasta is nice and moist. The starch in the water will help the sauce cling to the pasta.Add in 1 tablespoon of the red wine vinegar, a half teaspoon of salt, and a half teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
  • Gently fold in the chopped avocado (1 whole). Add more salt, vinegar, and or pepper to taste if needed.This recipe is best served slightly warm or at room temperature and is completely delicious!!
