Green Avocado Pasta

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Once the water boils, add the whole wheat penne and cook according to package directions until al dente.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the avocado flesh together with the peas, baby spinach, parsley, lemon juice, finely grated Parmesan, chili flakes, and milk into a blender or food processor.

Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Season the finished sauce with salt and pepper. Important: Do not heat the sauce, as the avocado and Parmesan could change its color and consistency.
