    • Preparation time: 10 minutes

    Serves: 4 as a dip or 6 as a pasta sauce

    Ingredients

    1 Perfectly Ripe Extra Large Avocado, chopped
    ½ x 25g pack basil
    1 small garlic clove
    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    30g pecorino, finely grated
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    60g pine nuts, toasted

    a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen).
