This video isn't an exact match for this recipe, but the process of mashing avocado into guacamole and tossing it with cold pasta is similar, so we've included it for reference.
Equipment
pot
knife
cutting board
mixing bowl
Instructions
Boil the gemelli in salted water, draining it 2 minutes before the time on the package. Toss with olive oil in a bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and grapes, and finely chop the Italian parsley.
Cut the avocado in half, score it, and twist to open. Remove the pit with a knife and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
Put the avocado flesh in a bowl and mash it roughly with a fork.
Add the Italian parsley, grated garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, then squeeze in juice from part of the lemon and mix well to make the guacamole.
Add the grapes, cherry tomatoes, and boiled gemelli, and mix well again.
Plate, grate the remaining lemon zest on top, and garnish with a few extra grape and cherry tomato pieces.
Tips
If you enjoy seasonal summer fruit, feel free to add plums, doughnut peaches, or Korean melon to taste.
Avocado is rich in minerals and vitamins, but it’s worth keeping in mind that growing it comes with environmental costs like deforestation.
Gemelli can easily be swapped for any other short pasta you have on hand.
