Creamy Garlic and Avocado Primavera

Directions

1. Fill a large pot 3/4 way with water and bring to a rolling boil. Salt water generously, approximately 1 tablespoon, and add dry pasta. Cook according to package directions.
2. While pasta cooks, place avocado, yogurt, sea salt, garlic, lemon juice, and light extra virgin olive oil in a small food processor, pulse until smooth. You can also use a blender or stick/immersion blender to combine. Fold in parsley.
3. Drain pasta and add avocado mixture to the same hot pot. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until hot. Add cooked pasta to avocado mixture; toss to coat completely.
4. Plate pasta; top with cherry tomatoes, scallions and bacon, if desired.
