This inspired recipe was given to me by Tim Principe. It consist of only a few ingredients and is  quick and easy to assemble.   All you really need is about 15-20 minutes. This pasta is very creamy and fulfilling.   It will make you crave for more.  I wanted to add protein to this dish, so I added shrimp.

Here are the ingredients to serve :

• 4 1/2 avocados + other 1/2 for garnish
• Handful of basil leaves
• 5 garlic cloves grated (I love garlic so I added 5 cloves. You can add more or less depending on your preference)
• Salt and Pepper
• Good olive oil
• Juice of 1/2 medium sized Lemon or 1 small lime
• Parmesan cheese or Parmigiano Reggiano
• Feta Cheese (for more flavor use garlic and herb feta cheese)
• 1/2 package of cheery tomatoes halved
• 3 handfuls of broccoli florets
• 1 lb. of angel hair pasta
• Shrimp (as many as you want) (Optional)

1. To make avocado sauce, combine 4 avocados, basil leaves, garlic cloves, lemon, salt and pepper in a food processor.
2. Once combined, slowly pour about a tablespoon of olive oil while food processor is still running.  Scrape inside food processor so avocado mixture comes together and set aside.
3. Boil water and generously salt your water.
4. Blanch broccoli and set aside.
5. Use the same pot to cook pasta according to package instructions.
6. Reserve a 1/4 cup of pasta water in case you want to thin out your avocado sauce.
7. Drain pasta and drizzle with olive oil (2-3 tbsp) to avoid the pasta from sticking.
8. While pasta is hot, add the parmesan cheese.
9. When cheese is incorporated, add avocado sauce and mix until ingredients are combined. If you want to thin out your sauce, start off with a tablespoon of pasta water. I like my sauce creamy so I did not add any pasta water to mine.
10. Mix in broccoli, tomatoes, shrimp (optional), and feta cheese.
11. For plating, garnish with more avocado slices and feta cheese.

If you are adding shrimp to this dish:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Lay shrimp out on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake shrimp for 6-8 minutes.

Enjoy!
