- this is always a great way to have a snack, because they are prepared quickly and quite simply. I propose to cook delicious and hearty sandwiches with avocado and tomatoes, which are suitable not only for a snack during the day or a light breakfast, but also for any holiday table. Avocado has a delicate texture, barely perceptible creamy taste and a buttery texture that makes avocados a great spread for sandwiches. The main condition is that we definitely use only ripe and soft-to-touch fruit for the preparation of pasta. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find an avocado of the required maturity on store shelves, then we buy an unripe one and let it lie at home at room temperature for 2-3 days, this is quite enough for the avocado to ripen and be completely ready for use. I had a small size, I had enough pasta to make four sandwiches. If you have a large fruit, then it is quite possible to cook from 6 to 8 pieces. I used toast bread with bran, but it can be replaced with any white or gray bread.

Ingredients:

• avocado - 1 piece.
• lemon juice - 1 tbsp. a spoon.
• garlic - 2-3 cloves.
• olive oil - 1 tbsp. a spoon.
• tomatoes - 1 piece.
• salt - to taste.
• ground black pepper - to taste.
• dried basil - to taste.
• greens - to taste.
• vegetable oil, in fact.
• bread, in fact.

• Servings Per Container: 4.

Cooking:

Bread I prefer to toast on a small amount vegetable oil, the bread turns out crispy and the taste, in my opinion, as a result, the sandwiches are more rich and interesting. Fry the bread on one side only. If desired, you can also dry the bread in a dry frying pan or use a toaster.

Wash the tomato and cut into slices.

Let's start making pasta. Ripe and soft avocado wash and cut into two halves.

Remove the skin with a knife and take out the bone.

Cut the avocado into small pieces and put in a deep plate. To prevent the flesh from turning dark, sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice.

Mash the avocado with a fork until pureed. If the fruit is ripe and soft, then this will not be difficult.

Avocado has an almost neutral taste and goes well with spices. Add garlic to the pulp to taste, salt, ground pepper, dried basil and a spoon olive oil.

Mix everything until smooth. Pasta is ready.

Put the bread with the toasted side up.

Spread with paste, adjust the amount to taste.

Place tomato slices on top.

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and sprinkle with fresh herbs. It is advisable to prepare sandwiches before serving so that the bread is crispy and appetizing.

Such sandwiches are also suitable for supporters of proper nutrition and will undoubtedly appeal to those who want to diversify their menu. The snack is not only healthy and nutritious, but also very tasty.

Bon Appetit!!!

Sincerely, Oksana Chaban.

Any dish should be prepared with love. It is love that is the main seasoning! Only with her you can plain pasta prepare such a culinary masterpiece that everyone who tries it will have to admit: “I love pasta!”. Therefore, using love as a secret spice, we will go on a little journey. Its main goal is to treat friends, yourself and loved ones with delicious and unusual dish! Pasta with avocado sauce.

We will need:

• Farfalle (you can take any other pasta) - 85-100 g,
• Egg - 1 pc,
• Vegetable oil for frying - 1-2 tsp;

For sauce:

• Avocado - 1/2 piece,
• Green cilantro (optional) - 20 g,
• Garlic - 1 clove,
• Lime juice - 1/2 tbsp.,
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp.,
• Salt - to taste
• Black freshly ground pepper to taste

How to cook delicious pasta

Boil pasta until done.

When cooking pasta (pasta), it is very important to follow the golden rule 1-1-5: for 1 liter of water we take 100 g of pasta and 5 g of salt, and then cook according to the instructions on the package.

While the pasta is cooking, we peel half of the avocado from the peel and take out the bone, wash the cilantro greens, shaking off excess moisture, and cut off the leaves (I throw away the stems).

Combine in a blender bowl (or in a deep bowl if you are using an immersion blender) avocado, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro leaves and beat until smooth. You can optionally dilute the sauce with a few tablespoons of pasta broth, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

We throw the finished pasta into a colander, then combine the pasta with the avocado sauce in a deep bowl, mix well.

On the hot pan, greased with vegetable oil, fry the egg. Put the hot pasta with the sauce on a plate, put it on top fried egg, sprinkle with salt, pepper and serve.

I must say right away that if you are fans of avocados, definitely cook this pasta. The flavor of avocado pairs wonderfully with cilantro and garlic, plus a dash of lime juice for spice, olive oil, and our sauce is ready! And in combination with pasta and an egg, this is a great way to eat a hearty and healthy meal. In general, if you are interested proper nutrition and take care of your health - this recipe is for you. Add cilantro at your discretion: someone likes its taste, and someone can not stand it. But, as you understand, the taste of the sauce without cilantro will change. The recipe is quick and simple to disgrace, and the taste of the dish is amazing and unusual.

Making pasta delicious

I will voice some points important in the preparation of pasta. And you will understand that even without sauce, pasta can conquer with its appetizing aroma, and, of course, taste.
What is needed for this:

• Salt the water before adding the pasta. Before boiling, you do it, or after, it does not matter.
• When the water in the pasta boils, you can add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to it. It doesn't matter if it's sesame, sunflower, linseed or olive. Try whichever you like best.
  Nuance: if you like a softer version of pasta, then the oil is added before boiling, it is poured in almost simultaneously with the pasta itself.
• The degree of cooking sometimes depends on whether the pasta remains in the water after it has been cooked, or whether the water drains completely, without residue.
• If it is supposed that in the future the pasta will be stewed with sauce, it is better to reduce the usual cooking time by just a couple of minutes.
• You can add spices to pasta. But first it is better to drain the water. Then, in hot pasta, pour the seasoning, mix, close the lid and leave for a few minutes to open the spices.

What are these seasonings? I’ll give you a hint, but I’ll immediately remind you that the kitchen is your laboratory, and you are an experimenter on it! Never stop at one "find", remember, new discoveries are waiting for you!
So this is:

Herbs

Try familiar dill and parsley, basil. See how cilantro has transformed the dish. How about arugula, oregano, celery?

Onion and garlic

Try not only fried onions, but also its greens, like garlic feathers. Garlic greens are tough. But this is fixable due to fine cutting, but you can pickle it (most often arrows are used for this).

Pepper. Black or red ground.

Turmeric

You know, even separately, without sauce, it will decorate pasta (only those that were cooked with butter). Feel free to add cheese. No, no, not ON, but B pasta. Soft cut into cubes, hard - grate. And stir until the cheese melts.

Delicious pasta sauces

Bechamel, Bolognese... surprisingly, when you get acquainted with the world of sauces, it seems that you are getting to know someone alive! They have proper names, they have character, they can be friends. The sauces I have just named are from this category. And they are friends mostly with pasta. But they (and still traditionally cheese sauce) it is easy to find or even come up with your own variation of such gas stations.

Creamy with Bacon and Mushrooms

We will need:

• Bacon - 200 gr;
• Champignons - 400 gr;
• Cream - 200 ml;
• Butter- 1 tbsp;
• Pepper and salt.

Cooking:

1. Cut mushrooms and onions. Saute until excess liquid has evaporated.
2. Fry thin slices of bacon in oil.
3. We put the cream on the fire and add the mushrooms with onions (I sometimes like to chop the onions and mushrooms in a blender first, and then add to the cream, and the taste and consistency becomes a little different). Add spices and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring.

The sauce is ready. It remains only to form the dish: put the bacon on the pasta. Top with sauce.
As you can see, simple but very tasty!

Shrimp with cheese

I myself love shrimp with cheese. As for me, he is brilliant, and very gentle. It's impossible not to fall in love with him.

For him you will need:

• Shrimp - 250-300 gr;
• Processed cheese - 1 pack (or 90-100 gr);
• Homemade sour cream (or cream) - 200 ml;
• Garlic - 3-4 teeth;
• Olive oil - 4-5 tablespoons;
• Salt, dill, pepper.

Cooking:

1. Lightly fry the garlic cloves in oil. The main thing is to saturate the oil with garlic aroma. Then take out the garlic.
2. Fry the shrimp in this oil for a couple of minutes.
3. Add cream, heat it up.
4. We cut the cheese. Put it on the pan. We turn off the fire. The hot cream should completely dissolve the cheese.
5. Add spices and herbs. We mix.

And here, on this path we have a fork, we can move in two ways:

1. When the sauce is done, pour it over the pasta.
2. Pour the sauce into the finished pasta and simmer them for a couple of minutes. small fire. If the dish is too thick, add pasta water.

Try both options! This experiment will not disappoint you in any scenario!
