Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

Add the lemon juice, water, avocado, oil, sea salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and vegan parmesan.

Continue to process, scraping down the sides as needed.
Make the sauce as creamy as you like or leave a few chunks of whole avocado if that's your preference.

Drain the pasta, if using, and return it to the pot.
-
Add the avocado mixture to the pasta (or zoodles) and stir until well combined.

Sprinkle with extra parmesan if desired, and garnish with fresh basil.
