• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 green onion, finely sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon finely grated garlic
• Juice of 1/4 lemon
• Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of hot pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, mash the avocado in a large bowl. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Add 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water to the avocado mixture and stir.
