Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 4 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 cups chickpea flour

1/2 cup water

1/4 tsp salt

2 ripe avocados

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tbsp lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour and salt. Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms.

2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.

3. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pasta cutter or knife to cut into desired shapes.

4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes or until it floats to the surface. Drain and set aside.

5. In a food processor, combine avocados, basil leaves, lime juice, minced garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Toss the cooked pasta with the avocado sauce until well coated. Add cherry tomatoes and gently mix.

7. Serve immediately, garnishing with extra basil leaves if desired.

Storage

Store any leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating

To reheat, gently warm the pasta in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
