CREAMY AVOCADO PESTO PASTA
The addition of avocado lends a lovely creamy texture to this pesto. The ripe fruit imparts richness to the sauce, while nutty roasted pepitas add a deep toasty flavor. If you can only find raw pepitas, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, then toast in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until they start to pop and turn golden brown. Shower the dressed pasta with more crunchy pepitas for a nice contrast to the velvety sauce. Leftover pesto can be refrigerated for two days; press the surface with plastic wrap to avoid discoloration (any browned areas on top should be scraped off before using). The pesto also makes a tasty avocado toast, sandwich spread or crudité dip.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse pepitas and garlic until finely chopped. Halve avocado, discard the pit and scoop out flesh. (You should have about 3/4 cup, or 5 ounces.) Add avocado flesh, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to food processor and pulse until chunky.
- Add cheese and basil to food processor. With motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup water, then drizzle in oil until well blended, scraping down sides as needed. Transfer 2 cups of pesto to a large bowl. Refrigerate any remaining pesto for another use.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta. Add pasta and pasta water to pesto in large bowl and toss until pasta is nicely coated in sauce.
- Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top with more pepitas, cheese and basil.
AVOCADO NOODLES
Thanks to a couple of avocados, this fresh pasta isn't just naturally green -- it's also eggless! Healthy fats from avocado help tenderize the dough, so there's no need for eggs.

Steps:
- Pulse together the cilantro, avocado and 1/2 cup water in a food processor until completely smooth, scraping the sides if needed, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, then pulse until all of the liquid is absorbed and a large, soft dough ball forms (it's okay if there are some crumbles, the dough will come together when it's kneaded).
- Transfer the dough to a work surface dusted with flour and gently gather into a ball, sprinkling with flour as needed to avoid the dough sticking to your hands. Take care not to overwork the dough.
- Dust a baking sheet with flour. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Cover with plastic wrap. Dust the work surface with flour again and roll 1 piece of dough out to about 1/16-inch thick in a roughly 18- by 6- inch rectangle. Cut into 1/4-inch strips using a paring knife or pizza cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with more flour to keep the noodles from sticking to each other. Cover with plastic wrap and roll out and cut the remaining dough. You can also use a pasta maker to roll out your dough and cut into noodles with the fettuccine attachment.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil and ginger in a large bowl. Add the carrot and cabbage, toss to combine and let sit for a few minutes until the dressing becomes magenta.
- Shake off the excess flour from the pasta, drop into the boiling water and cook until tender and no longer floury (it should rise to the top of the pot), 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the pasta and add to the bowl along with the cabbage, carrots and toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds and Asian garlic-chile sauce.
