Cook pasta according to package instructions. Meanwhile, make the pesto. Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and spreadable. Scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor as needed. Taste for salt and pepper. Toss pesto and pasta together. Drizzle with avocado oil and serve with sliced cherry tomatoes. Enjoy hot or cold. Notes Consistency: If the pesto is too thick you can add additional avocado oil or 2 tablespoons at a time of water from the cooked pasta. Leftovers are best enjoyed within 2-3 days. Keep refrigerated in a closed container. Freezing instructions: You can freeze avocado pesto for up to three months. Place in the fridge to thaw at least 24 hours before you plan to use it.
