PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use very ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure for the smoothest sauce texture.
- 2If the sauce is too thick, use the starchy pasta water to emulsify it rather than adding more oil.
- 3Add the sauce to the pasta only when you are ready to eat to maintain the best flavor profile.
