Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguini noodles, cooking until they reach al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Reserve one cup of starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
- In a blender, combine the ripe avocados, egg yolks, kale, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, paprika, and cayenne. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If too thick, add a splash of water or olive oil.
- With the blender running on low, gradually pour in half of the reserved hot pasta water to create a silky texture for your sauce. Blend for another minute until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained linguini with the avocado sauce. Toss with tongs ensuring each strand is coated with the sauce.
- Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the pasta.
- Plate your delicious Avocado Carbonara right away, garnishing with additional Parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper. Enjoy while warm.
