Ingredients
- 1 large (about 10 oz.) firm-ripe avocado
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 lb. dry linguine
- 1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled gorgonzola or cambozola
- cheese
- 1/3 cup regular-strength chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp. minced parsley
- 1/3 cup toasted shelled sunflower seeds
Directions
-
Peel, pit, and slice avocado into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Place wedges on a plate and coat with lemon juice; set aside.
-
In a 5 to 6 quart pan, bring 3 quarts water to a boil on high heat. Add linguine and cook, uncovered, until pasta is just tender to bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well, return pasta to pan on low heat.
-
Add gorgonzola and broth to pan; mix lifting with 2 forks, until cheese melts and most of liquid is absorbed. Pour onto a warm platter and arrange avocado on pasta; sprinkle with parsley and sunflower seeds.
