- 1/3 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 c. pine nuts, toasted

Directions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguine according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend avocado, basil, oil, lemon juice, and pine nuts until creamy. (For a looser texture, add another splash of oil.) Season with salt.
- In a large bowl, toss pesto, linguine, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, and tomatoes until combined. (For a looser sauce, stir in more reserved pasta water.)
