Boil water in a large pot and cook spaghetti until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain spaghetti and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

Blend cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, onion, lime juice, and olive oil until smooth.

Season the green sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, heat the green sauce over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.

Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the green sauce.

If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted.

Serve with sliced avocado and additional lime wedges on the side.
