Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add your linguini noodles and cook according to package instructions until they are al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles in a colander.
- In a blender, combine ripe avocados, egg yolks, kale, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, paprika, and cayenne. Blend on medium speed until everything is smooth and creamy, typically around 1-2 minutes.
- With the blender running on low, slowly add the reserved hot pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired creaminess. This should take another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the drained linguini back into the pot over low heat. Gently pour the avocado sauce over the pasta and toss thoroughly to coat every strand evenly.
- For an extra burst of flavor, mix in crumbled bacon and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the Avocado Carbonara.
- Once everything is mixed thoroughly, plate your creamy Avocado Carbonara in generous servings. Optionally, top with additional cheese, fresh black pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
