Avocado pesto with fusilli
Create a delicious, healthy dinner in minutes with Rosana’s colourful avocado pesto recipe. The avocado gives the pesto a wonderful creamy texture and drastically reduces the amount of olive oil you need, making it a healthy alternative to traditional basil pesto. To make this dish strictly vegetarian, ensure the pecorino is made with vegetable rennet, or swap for another hard ewe's milk cheese.
If you are always in a hurry, but don’t want to give up the pleasures of delicious food, this is the dish for you.
This recipe is a real time saver. While the pasta is cooking, you can prepare the avocado pesto. The pesto’s ingredients combine beautifully with the pasta to create a seriously tasty dish. The avocado adds creaminess and wraps the pasta in a delicate embrace, while the basil adds a hit of fragrant flavour, which is further enhanced by the natural saltiness of the pecorino.
Avocado pesto is even better when served with fusilli – this pasta shape holds the sauce so well.
