Step 1
To make the avocado pesto, process basil, olive oil, almonds, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor until very smooth, season to taste and then add Hass avocado (or the variety of avocado you are using) and pulse to combine but so there’s still a little avocado texture remaining and then set aside.
Step 2
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente, adding the peas and asparagus in the last two minutes of cooking.
Step 3
Drain and return to pan along with 1 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water.
Step 4
Add the pesto, toss lightly to coat and combine, season to taste and then divide among plates and serve scattered with extra basil leaves and chopped almonds.
