This recipe is inspired by a friend of mine she adds cashews to the avocado paste, i add spinach instead, am not really a pasta person but i love this recipe, i kept some in the fridge it still tasted good.Fresh basil is your friend with this dish, It tastes better with pasta noodles but i used what i had in the house at the time.
