Quick Spaghetti Carbonara with Avocado

Ingredients

- 9 oz. (250 grams) whole grain spaghetti

- 1 ripe avocado

- Juice of ½ lemon

- Hot sauce

- Salt and black pepper (to taste)

- ½ garlic clove (minced)

- ½ tomato

- Grated parmesan and chopped parsley (to taste)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook until al dente. Meanwhile, peel and pit the avocado, then smash the avocado in a bowl with lemon juice using a fork. Add the garlic, tomato, herbs, hot sauce, salt, and pepper, then set the mixture aside.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta and reserve one cup of the water in which the pasta was cooked. Then, mix the avocado dip with the pasta until the desired consistency is reached, and season to taste with salt, pepper, Parmesan, and parsley. Return the spaghetti to the pot, toss with the sauce, and serve.
