Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups of water and a pinch of sea salt to a boil. Pour in the pasta shells and lower the heat to let them simmer. Cook until tender but still with a tiny bite. Drain and rinse briefly to stop cooking.
  2. Cut the avocado open and remove the pit, then scoop out both sides. Using a fork, mash the avocado in a bowl. Then add in the Greek yogurt and mix until well combined.
  3. Add your seasonings into the avocado yogurt mix and combine. Taste and adjust.
  4. When the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add the pasta into the avocado yogurt mix. Stir until evenly coated. If the sauce feels thick, add a splash of pasta water.
  5. Serve & Enjoy! Plate up and top with extra basil or a grind of pepper.

Notes

  1. Add lemon zest or juice for a fresh flavor boost and consider including extra greens or proteins for a more filling meal.
