Whole wheat spaghetti with pesto sauce

I got this recipe in my email today from http://www.meatoutmondays.org/. It sounded good so... this was tonight's dinner. The recipe calls for "salt to taste" and I would suggest a healthy dose of salt. I also modified it so what follows is the adjusted recipe:

1 bunch basil leaves (about 2 1/2 ounces)

1/2 cup pine nuts

2 avocados pitted and peeled

Juice of one whole lemon

3 cloves garlic (cut into chunks)

1/2 cup olive oil

Salt to taste (you will need to make a couple of additions here)

black pepper to taste (fresh ground here)


Put this all in the food processor and mix until blended. Toss with freshly cooked whole wheat pasta. Yum.
