Farfalle with Yogurt Sauce and Avocado Recipe

 

Ingredients

 

Serves 4-6

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp dry white wine

  • 1 lb/500 g farfalle

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 cup/250 ml plain yogurt

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 red hot chile pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 celery heart, thinly sliced

  • 1 1/2 tbsp salt-cured capers, rinsed

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Method:

  1. Sauté the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat until the garlic is pale gold. Add the wine and cook until evaporated.

  2. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water until al dente.

  3. Peel, pit, and dice the avocado. Drizzle with the lemon juice to prevent it from browning.

  4. Beat the yogurt with the remaining oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chile pepper, celery, capers, and parsley.

  5. Drain the pasta and toss in the yogurt sauce. Add the onion and avocado, toss again, and serve.
