Dinner hits the table in a flash when you can blend up the sauce in the time it takes to cook the pasta and use rotisserie chicken as the protein. Ripe avocados form the base of the creamy sauce with lemon and herbs to keep the flavors bright and fresh.

Ingredients

Uncooked yellow lentil pasta

8¾ oz

Avocado

1 medium, pitted, and peeled

Fresh parsley

1 cup(s), loosely packed, plus more, chopped, for garnish

Scallions

2 medium, cut into pieces

Lemon zest

½ tsp(s), plus more for garnish

Fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp(s)

Olive oil

2 tbsp(s)

Kosher salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

⅛ tsp(s)

Grilled skinless boneless chicken breast

5 oz, 1 cup shredded cooked skinless chicken breast

Tomato

1 large, chopped (about 250 ml [1 cup])

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti in salted water according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in blender, combine avocado, parsley, scallions, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and ¼ cup water and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  3. When pasta is cooked, reserve ¾ cup cooking water; drain pasta and return to the pot. Place pot on low heat, add chicken, and toss until chicken is warmed through, about 1 minute.
