Fusilli Lunghi with Avocado and Sambal

Recipe
A good way to save those avocados that are almost too ripe! This creamy, spicy pasta is a great change up from a more traditional pasta sauce. The extra avocado preserve can also be stored in an airtight container and used to spread on toast, eggs, or as a salad topping.
