About

A smooth, vibrant pasta tossed with blended avocado, wilted spinach, and olive oil for a simple creamy sauce. It is fresh, rich, and satisfying with a light herbal note.

Ingredients

Creamy Avocado and Spinach Pasta

Headnote


This pasta is built on the quiet richness of avocado and the clean green depth of spinach. Olive oil gives the sauce its sheen and carries the flavor without heaviness, while the pasta provides the necessary structure and warmth. The result should be supple, vivid, and finely balanced, with a sauce that clings rather than pools.

    • Ingredients


    Pasta


  • 120 g dried pasta

  • 10 g olive oil


    • Green sauce


  • 120 g avocado, peeled and pitted

  • 80 g spinach

  • 20 g olive oil


    • Method


  • 1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a full boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender with a slight firmness at the center. Drain well, reserving a small amount of the cooking water if needed for loosening the sauce.

  • 2. While the pasta cooks, place the spinach in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes, just until fully wilted and dark green. Transfer immediately to a blender.

  • 3. Add the avocado and 20 g olive oil to the spinach. Blend until completely smooth and pale green, scraping down the sides as needed. The sauce should be thick, glossy, and uniform.

  • 4. Return the drained pasta to the warm sauté pan. Add 10 g olive oil and toss briefly over low heat for 30 seconds to coat the pasta evenly.

  • 5. Add the avocado-spinach sauce to the pasta and toss gently for 1 minute over low heat until the noodles are fully coated and the sauce is warmed through. If the sauce is too tight, loosen it with a small amount of the reserved cooking water. The finished pasta should be silky and cling lightly to each strand or shape.


    • Plating and serving


    Twirl or mound the pasta into a warm shallow bowl, drawing the sauce evenly across the surface. Serve immediately while the sauce remains glossy and the color is bright.

    Professional notes


  • Use avocado at full ripeness; underripe fruit will give the sauce a dull texture and a flat finish.

  • Keep the spinach just wilted so the color remains vivid and the flavor clean.

  • The sauce must be blended smooth enough to coat the pasta without visible fibers or grain.

    Intelligence

    Your body keeps score.

    OKKAI ingests your sleep, exercise, food, weight, age, location and weather data. It breaks food down to its smallest compounds, computes vitamin and mineral half-lives, and models your body's current state as accurately as possible from all available data.

    The OKKAI engine keeps track of what cannot be seen.

    Computed every hour.

    Your body is never static. Vitamins deplete, minerals interact, absorption rates shift with activity and time of day.

    The engine recomputes every hour in order to give a suggestion on what to eat and when.
