1 cup Chopped fresh basil packed
1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley packed
2 tsp Crushed garlic
1 Ripe avocado,peeled chopped
2 tbsp Olive oil
1/4 cup Parmensan cheese

2 tsp Lemon juice

1. Cook pasta in boling water according to package instruction or
until firm to bite. Drain and place in serving bowl. 2. In food
processor puree basil, parsley, garlic, avocado, oil, 2 tbsp of the
Parmensan cheese, stock and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over
pasta. Sprinkle with pine nuts and remaining Parmensan cheese. Toss.

tips: Even with lemon juice the pesto may discolour, if this
happens, skim off the darkened surface and discard. Toast pine nuts
in a skillet on stove top for 2 to 3 minutes until brown. This is
like a guacamole dressing with much less fat due to the basil and
parsley. For a stronger flavor use all basil and no parsley.

Diet hints and tips

If you want to lose weight and also increase your general condition, among other things you should commence a carefully planned balanced meal plan. In theory, this must contain five portions of fruit & vegetables every day and involve the right mixture of fat, carbs and proteins.

When devising a weight loss program, it is essential to try to cut down your ingestion of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When starting a weight loss program, dieters ordinarily focus on department store and big brand products described as 'low fat'. To do this is far too often a mistake, given that a food could be very low in fats, but whilst still being contain excess carbs.

Keep yourself hydrated. Now and then during a busy work day, you imagine that you want a snack when in reality you just need a cool cup of water or orange squash. The sensations of hunger and thirst are nearly the same, but one of them can lead to a broken diet and the other one is fine.

As an alternative to thinking about the types of food that you need to ban from your weight loss program, look at the nutritionally sound foods which you should introduce to your weight loss program. If you are able to bring in some healthy pulses and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a much reduced likelihood of being tempted by those detrimental mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
