Pasta with guacamole

• 2-3 avocados (ripe avocados recommended) or Caña Nature guacamole
• 1/2 Kg of pasta (macaroni or spaghetti)
• 10-20 cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 onion (if you are going to make the guacamole yourself)
• 1 tomato (if you are making the guacamole yourself)
• 1/2 lemon, 1 lime or lime juice
• Fresh basil
• 1 bay leaf
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt

Step 1

Bring water to the boil in a pan and add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil and a bay leaf. Wait until the water starts to boil.

Step 2

When the water is boiling, place the pasta inside the pot and wait for the appropriate cooking time. This time varies depending on the type of pasta you are using.

Step 3

For this pasta with guacamole recipe, if you have Caña Nature guacamole, you can skip this step. If not, you will have to make it on your own. With some experience you can do this while the pasta is boiling, but if you are just learning how to make the mixture, you can prepare it before you start boiling the pasta and use it at the appropriate time. Take the tomato, onion and avocado separately and cut them into small pieces. Note that the avocado has a stone inside. Put them in the same bowl and mash them. Ideally, they should be ripe and you can stir them easily with a fork, to get the mixture quickly. While stirring, add lemon or lime, salt and oil to get the flavour you like best. Other ingredients that can be added are coriander, ginger or tabasco if you want to spice things up.

Step 4

When the pasta is well cooked, drain the water and pour everything into a fairly deep bowl. Use the guacamole you have already made or the one you already have ready to use from Caña Nature and mix with all the pasta.

Step 5

The cherry touch! Cut the tomatoes in half and spread them all over the bowl. Some people choose to add a little more extra virgin olive oil and some basil before the presentation of this pasta with guacamole.
