1-First Steps: Cooking the Pasta: Start by filling a large pot with salted water and bringing it to a boil. Cook 12 ounces of dry spaghetti or pasta until al dente, which usually takes 8 to 10 minutes. This step builds the base of your dish, so drain the pasta and set aside a bit of the cooking water for later.

2-Blending the Sauce: While the pasta cooks, prepare the creamy sauce. Scoop the flesh from 2 ripe medium avocados into a blender. Add 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup lightly packed baby spinach leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.

Blend everything until smooth, then slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil while blending to achieve a silky texture. This sauce is what makes the dish stand out, with its fresh and nutritious profile.

3-Combining and Serving: Once the pasta is drained, transfer it to a large bowl. Toss it with the blended avocado sauce while the pasta is still warm to help it absorb the flavors evenly. Serve immediately and top with optional additions like Parmesan cheese shavings, cherry tomatoes, or extra fresh basil leaves for a colorful finish.
