Recipe: Creamy Avocado Shells

I will say...this is NOT my recipe!  I got it from this site: http://www.fromthelittleyellowkitchen.com/2011/03/31/creamy-avocado-shells-the-clockless-oven/

So, for really pretty yummy delicious looking pictures, go there! lol  But for time, here's the breakdown of the recipe.

2 medium avocadoes
1 lemon juiced & lemon zest
3 garlic cloves (or to taste)
1/2 cup fresh basil (this came directly from my "garden")
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I'm replacing it w/ coconut oil)
4 servings of pasta shells (for added healthiness, I'm using quinoa pasta shells bought at Whole Foods)

add-in not in the recipe: cooked chicken...'cause I need my protein after a workout! :)

Blend garlic, lemon and EVOO together.  Add avocado, basil, salt and pepper.  Process til creamy.  Pour and toss over cooked pasta shells.  (Best if shells cooked al dente...but I'm not too fond of hard food, so I like mine a wee bit softer!)

Enjoy! :)

P.S. Daniel fast approved WITHOUT the chicken!  If you're more into the stricter Daniel Fast, this may not work for ya! :)
