Creamy Avocado Alfredo Pasta

Avocados are one of most favourite fruit (or is it a veggie? I'm not sure). All I know is that it is delicious (and so good for you!). I'm always looking for new ways to eat it. Here's a recipe I found that passed the test and I will make it again.

8-10 Roma tomatoes
3-4 tbsp olive oil
2 ripe avocados, seed & skin removed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup pine nuts
grated fresh Parmesan
salt & pepper to taste
fettuccine noodles

Preheat oven to 300F.

Wash and quarter the tomatoes. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 1 hour.

Ten minutes before the tomatoes are done, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, add 2 tbsp olive oil, avocado, garlic, salt and lemon juice to a food processor or blender. Pulse until the ingredients are smooth and creamy.

Strain the pasta, and combine with the sauce in a large bowl until all the noodles are covered. Add the roasted tomatoes, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
