Ingredients:

8 oz gluten-free pasta
230g
2 avocados
400g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
2 onions
220g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
3/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.24g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1.50 fl oz lime juice
44g

Instructions:

1. Cook Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Prepare Avocado Sauce:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the fresh lime juice to the avocados to help prevent browning and for added flavor.
- Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth and creamy. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a chunkier texture.
3. Cook Onions and Garlic:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Combine and Season:
- Add the mashed avocados to the skillet with the cooked onions and garlic.
- Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, chopped coriander leaves, and a dash of salt.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients and heat through.
5. Mix with Pasta:
- Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet with the avocado mixture.
- Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the avocado sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or red pepper flakes to your preference.
6. Serve:
- Divide the avocado pasta into serving bowls.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves or a wedge of lime, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the avocados are ripe for the best creamy texture.

- You can add more lime juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper to suit your spice tolerance.

- For additional protein, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp.

- You can substitute fresh coriander leaves with dried coriander if necessary, although fresh will provide a more vibrant flavor.

This avocado pasta with red pepper and lime is a vibrant, flavor-packed meal that's sure to impress. It's simple to make, nutritious, and bursting with taste. Perfect for any pasta lover looking to try something new!
