Avocado Pasta Sauce

1/4 cup butter melted
3 green onions, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
3 ripe avocados, mashed
salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
1 pound pasta, cooked and according to package directions, and drained
optional garnish: chopped fresh tomatoes or pitted Greek-style black olives

In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter and add green onions, garlic, and basil.
Cook 5 minutes or so, until onions are tender.
Add wine and parsley, simmering an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in cheese and blend well, continuing to cook until heated through.
Add avocado, stirring to combine, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Immediately spoon sauce over cooked pasta and serve, garnished with tomatoes or olives, if desired.

Serves 6.
