Avocado Pesto Pasta

Without a doubt one of the quickest and most simple recipes ever! This only takes 15 minutes to make and requires only 3 steps. All you need is one pot and a blender. The sauce can be eaten raw and would also be delicious with courgetti (courgette spaghetti) but it’s too cold for that right now, I’m craving warm carbs.
