Ingredients
  • 2 cups of fresh basil
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • ½ cup of walnuts
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients in a Vitamix or food processor, and start to blend slowly. Gradually turn up the speed until it's at the highest speed and everything is mixing well and heated up.
  2. (Note above prep time is for avocado pesto sauce. The whole meal will take you about 30 minutes to make.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then cut up a head of broccoli into florets, wash, dry and throw on a baking sheet. Coat with coconut oil spray, s&p, and turmeric to taste. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until browned and broil for about 3 minutes at the end.
  3. While broccoli is baking, put 2 cups of water in a pot with a little salt and start boiling. Once you bring it to a boil, throw in some brown rice pasta and follow directions. I love the Lotus Foods Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen.
  4. Lastly, cut up vine tomatoes into chunks.
  5. Put pasta in individual bowls and pour over avocado pesto sauce. Top with baked broccoli and tomato chunks. Enjoy!
