Ingredients
  

12 ounces of spaghetti or your favorite pasta

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

4 cups of cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring enough salted water to a vigorous boil. Add in the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until it reaches a firm al dente texture. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the pasta. Set the drained pasta aside in a large mixing bowl.

    Prepare the Sauce: While the pasta is cooking, take a large serving bowl and add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocados, minced garlic, and the chopped basil. This vibrant mixture will create a fresh and flavorful sauce.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. This dressing will enhance the flavors of your pasta dish.

        Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the tomato and avocado mixture in the large bowl. Then, add the drained pasta to this mixture. Gently toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated. If the pasta appears too dry, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until you achieve a creamy and desired consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste your pasta and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed to suit your preferences.

            Serve: Create a beautiful presentation by dividing the pasta evenly among individual serving plates. If desired, finish each plate with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with additional basil leaves for an extra touch of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and relish the delightful combination of fresh ingredients in your Tomato Avocado Pasta!
