Cook the spaghetti as the packet directs you to, in salted water
When the pasta is done, add the avocado flesh, garlic, spinach, basil and lemon juice to a blender and pour 120mls (1/2 cup) of the hot pasta water in
Puree smooth, adding up to 60 mls (1/4 cup) more pasta water if required until you reach your desired thickness of sauce
If adding chilli flakes and / or bacon, stir into the sauce after you've pureed it
Drain the pasta and return to the pan
Pour the sauce in, toss gently to coat then serve
Fry or grill the bacon until crispy then chop up and stir into the spaghetti and sauce
Dry fry the pine nuts until they begin to turn golden then remove from the pan to a cool plate immediately. Use as a topping for the spaghetti
My recipe for dairy-free parmesan cheese goes great sprinkled over this. Nutritional yeast flakes would be great too
