Spaghetti With Avocado & Chicken Sauce

Pound of Spaghetti
1-2 Tablespoon(s) of Sour Cream
Two Ripe Avocados (as close to overripe as you can manage)
3/4 pound of Chicken Tenders
4-5 Garlic Cloves
1/4 to 1/2 of a medium Onion

Now I usually wing it with this one and thus the ingredients are approximate.

Chop the Onions and Garlic Saute the Onions, the garlic, and then the Chicken till just done no burning for me. You can however can modify it to suit your preferences. You can cut the Chicken into bite size morsels in advance or after sauteing, your preference

Cream two medium Avocados with a fork till nice and smooth I decide at the absolute last moment just how much Sour Cream to add to flavor and smooth the sauce. Put the Avocado mix in a sauce pan at low heat with just enough butter, yeah butter so it doesn't stick and adds some additional flavor.
Remove from heat when the Avocados start to bubble gently add the preferred amount of Sour Cream then the chicken, onions, and garlic.
If not saucy enough add a little milk but not to much it smooths out further when combined with the pasta.

Set the assembled sauce off to the side to marinate, longer is definitely better say two or even more hours.

Buy some fresh Spaghetti, Linguine, Tortellini's, or whichever you prefer cook it up, blanch it and add the sauce while the pasta is still hot. I don't refrigerate the sauce if I can manage it so the hot pasta usually brings it up to a temperature that suits me. You don't want to cook the sauce with the sour cream in it or it will end up scalded.


Yum yum yum time for me to go make it now :D

Hey I'm back 4:40 some odd sauce is marinating, most utensils are cleaned, and the sauce pan is soaking. Start the Spaghetti at 6:30 dinner at 7:00 not too bad. Pretty much a schlopper of a meal taste great easy to make...

I stumbled across the suggestion by just searching on Avocado in google. I had started getting into using Avocados a ways back even just eating them sliced and making guacamole. I was just looking to extend the usage of avocados and stumbled over the suggestion. If you search you might even find the recipe I started with. I rarely stay with any recipe strictly I figure I know whether I like a particular ingredient or not. I like fresh garlic sauteed and thus might use more then what someone else likes. Naturally if one likes onions more then garlic you could easily adjust the recipe to suit your own preferences. One thing though Avocado is delicate and I like them. So I don't put in too much of any ingredient so as not to overwhelm the avocados flavor.
I am sure this one would surprise anyone and a relative reference would be if you like pasta with any white sauce recipe then this is an interesting variation on that theme.

I also manage to saute everything in one sauce pan and use the accumulation of the previous ingredient to add to the next item. I like to saute in this sequence Onions, garlic, chicken, avocado. I remove each one and put them in individual cups I have around. I add them all together at then end and look real purty.

Hee hee
