Avocado Alfredo
Fridays are generally the one day of the week that I do not want to cook. There is a little Italian joint in town, named Italian Villa, that I always end up at having a spaghetti and meatballs; on rare occasions a Philly cheese steak. It is safe to say that I love pasta. To curve that craving, do it healthy, and have something that screams “Spring” for this Friday I had fun being uber creative with this Avocado Alfredo. Avocado is the super fruit! The super fruit is fun to use in many dishes. Do not let people fool you into thinking that it can not be warmed. It does not get bitter if you heat it slow. In this dish it is not heated. The pasta warms the avocado and many other flavors of this dish. The family gave me a few strange looks when I set this on the table but ended up enjoying it. Plus, it is perfect for Easter weekend with its colors!

Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes until done. Strain and add it to a large bowl. Pour avocado sauce into the large bowl. Wash out processor, add your bacon, and pulse till you have homemade bacon bits.
