Method
- Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Put a the houmous,
avocado, courgette, coconut milk, peas, the finely grated zest and juice of ½ lemon, the leaves of 5-6 fresh mint sprigs and plenty of salt and pepper in a blender. Whizz until completely smooth and bright green. - Once cooked, drain the pasta, return to the pan and toss with the avocado sauce over a medium heat until well coated (but don’t heat too much – think of it as a saucy pesto). Taste, then add an extra squeeze of lemon, if needed. Sprinkle over a little lemon zest, some black pepper, a few torn mint leaves and some sea salt flakes to serve.
