Spaghetti Asparagus with Avocado dressed with a Sweet Date Sauce

Every one has liked the asparagus recipe that I have posted, so I have a very special one
to share with you all.
This one is decadent, and it is a very WOW presentation, but it is our secret it was so easy;)
I can't stop eating this one, the combination is creamy and sweet with the earthy
flavor of the asparagus YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!


Spaghetti Asparagus with Avocado dressed with Sweet Date Sauce

Serves 2

6 asparagus stalks
1 avocado
4 dates
1 Tablespoon butter (vegan)
sea salt
squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Wash asparagus then cut it in half the long way, then cut it in half again the long way,
so you have 4 long strips from 1 stalk of asparagus.
In a small stock pot boil water like you are making spaghetti, add a good pinch of sea salt.
Add asparagus strips to boiling water and blanch for 3 minutes.
Then drain, and put on paper towel to absorb excess water.
Wash avocado, and cut open, scoop out the flesh.
Add pinch of sea salt, and squeeze lemon juice over,
mash with fork until creamy.
In a small saute pan melt butter, cut dates into small pieces, add to pan
stir for a few minutes until caramel color.
Cooks quickly so watch it closely.
Place asparagus spaghetti on a plate and add half the avocado creme to the top,
then spoon half the date sauce on top and around the plate.
