Corny Pasta Topped With Avocado Sauce

This will soon be a holiday and Sunday favorite salad.  Use the corn pasta for the best flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large avocado, the large green Florida Avocado, or 2 Black Haas
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 10 oz corn pasta (found in health food stores)

Procedure:

  1. Peel and pit the avocado; cut flesh into chunks. 
  2. In a food processor or blender, place avocado, lime juice, garlic, chili powder and oregano; process until smooth and creamy.
  3. bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add corn pasta and cook ccording to package directions until just tender.  Drain and place in a large bowl.  Toss with avocado sauce. 

This is my personal favorite pasta dish.  For variations, toss with halved cherry tomatoes, and chives or green onions.
