We had some really wonderful meals (there will be more on that later), but one thing they all had in common was fresh, local ingredients. Because Arizona isn’t a dark, gray, cloudy cave of depression from January until usually sometime in mid-May, they actually produce all kinds of good stuff there, from beef to citrus to olive oil. One of the best dishes we had was the first night we arrived, a simple plate of prosciutto topped with blood orange and grapefruit segments and a dusting of what I think was fried thyme. So simple and so good. I am really looking forward to spring when there is an abundance of fresh produce from the farms in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana.

It’s long overdue because there are few things easier and more delicious than this pasta. I am obsessed with it. Of course, my obsession with avocados is nothing new but the idea of blending avocados into pasta was new to me when my friend Angie made it for dinner one Friday night. The fact that avocados are healthy for you is a delightful bonus. They’re rich, creamy and indulgent – all words that are usually associated with the phrase “need to go to the gym.” Avocados though, are full of vitamins and “good fat” so you can hardly feel guilty blending them into also-healthy whole wheat pasta. The Parmesan cheese? Gratuitous, I know. But when have I ever deprived you of cheese? The original recipe is from Oh, She Glows and it couldn’t have been easier to replicate. Though it does require a food processor of some sort (a blender would work too), this is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. If you want to skip the instructions completely, you could, because all you’d need to do is take each ingredient and toss them into the bowl of your food-processing device, […]
