### Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Avocado Basil Pesto Recipe:
1. first cook the spaghetti.
2. Begin by setting a large pot of water, with a little salt and a drizzle of olive oil, on a high flame.
3. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
4. Then, lower the flame and drop the pasta into it.
5. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or as per the instructions on the package, until the pasta is cooked al-dente.
6. Drain the pasta in a colander, retaining the water in which the spaghetti is cooked, by collecting it in in a separate bowl.
7. Do not drain the spaghetti completely, so that it does not dry out while you prepare the pesto.
8. Next, prepare the pesto.
9. In a mixer/grinder or food processor, add the basil, avocado, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and pulse in bursts of 4-5 seconds until it is disintegrated.
10. Then run the grinder again so it comes together in a smooth paste.
11. If you need to add water to help it run better and turn smooth, add some of the water used to cook the pasta.
12. In a serving bowl or a platter, mix together the cooked spaghetti and pasta.
13. Sprinkle as much salt as is needed and combine.
14. Drizzle a little bit of the water used to cook the pasta to help mix it evenly.
15. Serve the Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Avocado Basil Pesto with a sprig of basil for garnish and a drizzle of olive oil.
