Super Creamy Avocado Cream Pasta
I love pasta, so I've been having fun making all different kinds.
This recipe I came up with was so good, I've gotten hooked on it.
-Be careful not to cook the pasta too long when you add it to the frying pan in Step 12.
-If the avocado is a bit hard when you try to mash it, microwave it for a very short time and it will soften.
Be careful not to microwave it too long. Recipe by *ai*
Ingredients
-
100 grams Pasta (I recommend 1.6 mm, or thicker)
-
1/2 Avocado
-
1/4 Thinly sliced onion
-
1 clove Minced or thinly sliced garlic
-
1 Bacon (cut in 1-2 cm wide strips)
-
40 ml Extra virgin olive oil
-
1/2 tbsp (A) Usukuchi soy sauce
-
2 tsp (A) Wasabi
-
1 tsp (A) Lemon juice
-
3 tbsp (A) Heavy cream or half milk/ half cream
-
1 (A) Salt
-
1 (A) Pepper
-
1 (A) Umami seasoning (optional)
-
1 Black pepper (coarsely ground, if possible)
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Cut the garlic, bacon and onion as listed in the ingredients. This time I also added a few shrimp.
-
2
Heat 3 liters of water in a large pot to cook the pasta. Add 2 tablespoons (1%) salt, just before it comes to a boil.
-
3
The amount of salt added in Step 2 determines the taste of this dish, so be sure to measure it exactly. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and keep it on low.
-
4
Put the olive oil and the garlic from Step 1 in a cold frying pan and turn on the heat. Cook slowly over low heat to transfer the fragrance of the garlic to the oil.
-
5
Meanwhile, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl and mash it with the back of a fork. Mash it lightly to keep the texture of the avocado.
-
6
Add the A ingredients to the avocado and mix well. You may think that it seems like a lot of wasabi, but it will be just the right amount.
-
7
When the garlic in Step 4 begins to turn brown, add the onion and bacon from Step 1 and cook over medium-low heat.
-
8
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat when everything is cooked through. This time I added a bit of white wine along with the shrimp.
-
9
Meanwhile, start cooking the pasta. Cook it on low heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the cooking time on the package .
-
10
This time I used my favorite fettuccine, but enjoy with any pasta you have on hand.
-
11
When the pasta is cooked, drain and add it to the bowl in Step 6. Toss to combine.
-
12
Heat the Step 8 ingredients and Step 11 (the entire contents of the bowl) together over medium heat and mix lightly. Season with salt and pepper.
-
13
Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and it's done.
-
14
The avocado makes it amazingly creamy, even though it only has a small amount of heavy cream in it. Add in whatever else you like to the pasta.
