Creamy Avocado Carbonara

I love Avocados! Recently I’ve learned how to use them in more delicious recipes that Ill definitely be making again. Especially when they are in season and so wonderfully creamy, delicious and good for your health. Add the avocados creaminess to pasta, add some bacon and what better meal could you ask for??

I doubled my recipe because I used a whole package of spaghetti noodles, an equivalent to one pound of pasta. I enjoy leftovers for either lunch the next day, or an easy dinner to just warm up and serve. The recipe below will be the doubled version. If you are only wanting to use a half pound of pasta, which is half a package of spaghetti noodles, then half the recipe.

In a blender, add 2 garlic cloves ( I used several small cloves with a doubled recipe). 2 avocados. 1 lemon, juiced, and 2 egg yolks. ( Yes, there’s 3 yolks shown here, one of my eggs were double yolked) Blend well.

Add 1 cup of Cream slowly into the blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Creamy Avocado Carbonara to create a delectable Pasta Dish

Chop 6 pieces of bacon into small bite sizes pieces. In a medium to large fry pan, cook the bacon until crisp.

Cook 1 pound of Pasta to desired tenderness. I prefer spaghetti noodles and cook mine just past al dente for a more tender noodle. I personally don’t like al dente, that’s a bit too firm. Drain the liquid from the pasta and return back to the pan you cooked them in.

Add 1 TBSP of Olive Oil and mix that into the noodles well. Add the Creamy Avocado Carbonara from the blender to the noodles and mix well.

Add 1 cup parmesan cheese and the crisp bacon pieces to the noodles and mix well. Add Salt and Pepper to taste.

Garnish with shaved Parmesan Cheese and Serve. You can have this dish as the main dish for your meal, or as a side like I did. I served Avocado Carbonara with seared, boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
