Scoop out the flesh and put it in a food processor.

avocado+black+ bean+pasta
Mix black beans with finely diced red onion and serrano chile.
Add a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lime juice, chopped cilantro and salt to taste.
Stir gently and let sit to meld the flavors.
Spoon beans over the pasta.
Alternatively, the beans can be tossed with the pasta,
but they look prettier when not coated with avocado sauce. (I tried it).
