570 kcal · 30 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• Lemon 1 pc.
• Basil, fresh 20 g
• Cilantro, fresh 20 g
• Avocado 2 pc.
• Zucchini 1 pc.
• Garlic cloves 1 pc.
• Salt pinch
• Fusilli 500 g
• Butter 1 tbsp
• Olive oil 2 tbsp
• Sesame, white 2 tbsp
• Pepper, black ground pinch

Instructions

1. 1. Wash a lemon thoroughly under hot water, grate about 1 tsp of the peel, halve it, and squeeze out the juice. Clean the herbs, shake off excess water, remove thick stems, and chop coarsely.
2. 2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, and slice it thinly. Drizzle with a little lemon juice to prevent the avocado from browning.
3. 3. Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and coarsely grate it. Peel the garlic and slice it into very thin pieces.
4. 4. Bring about 5 l of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the fusilli in it for approx. 9 minutes until al dente. Drain into a colander, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
5. 5. In a pan, warm the butter, olive oil, and sesame over medium heat, and sauté the garlic together with the zucchini for approx. 4 minutes.
6. 6. Add the pasta, avocado, and lemon zest to the zucchini mixture, mix well, and add a little cooking water if needed. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle the herbs on top, and serve the avocado pasta with zucchini and sesame. Enjoy your meal!
