Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions, around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
- In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine avocado, olive oil, basil, spinach, garlic, cashews, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add more olive oil or pasta water if too thick.
- Pour the pesto over the warm pasta in the pot. Toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated. Stir in reserved pasta water if needed.
- Serve in bowls and top with sliced cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy it warm or chilled!
