Ingredients for 4 portions

• 500 gr whole-wheat penne
• ½ red chilli
• 3 ripe avocados
• 25 grams chopped pine kernels
• 2 limes
• ¼ cup fresh basil finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon fresh grated garlic
•  ¼ cup Fresh parsley finely chopped
• Salt & pepper and olive oil 

Directions

In a large pot put some water, salt and olive oil and bring to the boil. Cook the pasta until it’s ‘all dente’. Drain the pasta and reserve half a cup of the pasta water.

While the pasta is being cooked put 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan and slightly sauté the garlic, chilli and pine kernels and then move them in a large bowl. Add the lime juice, avocado cut into cubes, basil and parsley and mix well. Add the reserved pasta water and 4 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well. Stir in the pasta and add some salt and fresh pepper.

You can serve with some grated parmesan or nutritional yeast flakes for a vegan version of the dish.
