Description

This is easily my favorite recipe from FIVE, and my go-to meal whenever I’m cooking for anyone else. My roommates, my mom, my grandparents— everybody loves it. The avocado makes the sauce creamy, and the lemon, garlic and basil give it tons of flavor. It's an easy recipe to build on as well, so you can add extra veggies like tomatoes, asparagus or peas to it. - Madeline
